Edge

Full-page caching that serves your whole site from the edge, so every click lands instantly.

• A cached page is answered in a few milliseconds, before Craft, PHP or the database wake up.
• Edits ripple out on their own: save an entry and every affected page is fresh within seconds.
• Members, carts and forms all keep working, and they get the fast pages too.

Fast where it's felt

Speed here isn't a tuned template or a trimmed query, it's nginx or Cloudflare handing over finished HTML with nothing left to compute. Time to first byte all but disappears, and the whole site takes on that snappy, native-app feel that visitors notice without knowing why.

Fresh without thinking about it

Edge tracks what each page is made of while it renders, down to the individual entries and the queries behind the listings. Publish, edit or delete something and the right pages are rebuilt on their own: the entry page, the blog index that now includes it, the related articles, the nav. Editors just press Save; nobody clears a cache.

Personal, per visitor

Cached pages stay shared and anonymous, while a lightweight island system fills in the visitor-specific bits in the browser: the "Hi, Sarah", the basket count, a live CSRF token for every form. Islands are plain Twig templates dropped in with a single tag, so a signed-in member browses the same instant pages as a first-time guest, personalized where it matters.

Boringly dependable

Sessions can't cross wires because cached pages are written without a single cookie in them, guaranteed at the code level. Heavy lifting happens in queued jobs behind the scenes, storage hiccups quietly fall back to normal dynamic rendering, and a one-line verify command (plus a control panel dashboard) confirms hits are flowing and everything is healthy.

Kind to your hosting bill

When the edge absorbs nearly every request, origin load stops scaling with traffic. A modest server carries a big site with headroom to spare, and the spike from a launch, a mailout or an unexpected feature simply gets served.

Runs on what you already have

Choose whichever tier matches your setup, managed by the same plugin:

• Static files with nginx, the no-dependency default for any server you control.
• nginx's FastCGI cache, with Edge steering storage and purges.
• Cloudflare, serving from whichever data centre is closest to each visitor, rules and purging automated.

Install, pick a driver, load any page twice: the second response comes straight from the edge, and from then on, so does your site.

Requires Craft CMS 5 and PHP 8.2+.
