Optional Add-on

Global Edge API.

$99one-time setup

Global Edge API

Your app's API and content requests are cached and served from edge nodes worldwide — making every screen feel instant for users anywhere on the planet.

Add to your plan →

One-time fee · No recurring charge · Works with any plan

What's included

🌍

Global edge network

API and content requests routed to the nearest edge node — less latency, faster screens for every user.

Content caching

Posts, feeds, and media metadata cached at the edge. Repeat visits load instantly.

🔄

API response caching

WordPress and BuddyBoss REST API responses cached intelligently — fewer origin hits, far less server load.

🛡️

Automatic invalidation

Content updates and publishes clear the relevant cache entries automatically. Users always see fresh data.

📊

Edge analytics

Cache hit rates, per-region latency improvements, and request volume — all visible in your dashboard.

🔧

One-time setup

We configure your edge routing, cache rules, and TTLs. No ongoing infrastructure management from you.

Why it matters for community apps

BuddyBoss and WordPress REST APIs are origin-served by default — every user request hits your server directly. Edge caching means your app stays fast under traffic spikes, and members in different countries get the same low-latency experience.
