Free tier — included
Static assets and cacheable pages are served from a global edge at no extra cost. It is the default on Mainstream hosting and the baseline everywhere.
Content delivery
A free global CDN on every plan — with managed upgrades
Every site ships behind a free global CDN, so your pages are served from an edge close to your visitors from the day you go live — no extra cost, no separate account to open. When you want more, upgrade to a managed premium tier, or bring your own CDN account and we drive it for you. On the Footprint-Free line the CDN is native, balanced across a multi-provider pool.

One free tier, then upgrade only if you want to
The CDN is not an add-on you have to remember to buy — it is on from the first deploy. The paid tiers exist for the sites that outgrow the free one.
Premium tier — paid
More cache capacity plus image optimisation through the premium AccelerateWP layer, priced per domain for the sites where delivery speed is the product.
Managed upgrades — paid
Where you want a specific managed configuration — a Cloudflare Pro or Argo-backed setup, for example — we run it for you behind the same CDN tab.
Bring your own — both lines
Connect a Cloudflare, bunny.net, CDN77 or KeyCDN account you already pay for and we drive it, or delegate DNS by passthrough so any CDN works even if we have not integrated it.
Footprint-Free line
CDN-native, with no shared fingerprint
The Footprint-Free line does not put every site behind one CDN account. Sites are balanced across a pool of providers, so the network as a whole has no single, shared edge fingerprint.
Origin IPs stay hidden behind the edge, and you can bring your own accounts to widen the pool further — all under the same rule that origin records can never be changed.
- Balanced across a multi-provider CDN pool
- Origin IPs hidden behind the edge
- Your own accounts join the pool too
FAQ
Is the CDN really free?
Yes. Every plan includes a free global CDN tier at no extra cost — your static assets and cacheable pages are served from an edge near your visitors as standard. Paid tiers are optional upgrades on top of it.
What do the paid tiers add?
More cache capacity, image optimisation via the premium AccelerateWP layer, and managed upgrades such as a Cloudflare Pro or Argo-backed configuration where you want the extra control. You pick the tier per domain from the CDN tab.
Can I bring my own CDN account?
Yes. Connect a Cloudflare, bunny.net, CDN77 or KeyCDN account you already pay for and we drive it for your sites — validated on entry, stored in Vault, and managed from the dashboard and MCP. For providers we do not integrate, passthrough delegates DNS to your edge so any CDN works.
How is the CDN different on Footprint-Free hosting?
The Footprint-Free line is CDN-native: sites are balanced across a pool of CDN providers so the network has no single, shared fingerprint, and origin IPs stay hidden behind the edge. Mainstream hosting uses the free tier by default with optional paid and BYO upgrades.
Do I have to manage cache purging myself?
No. For the tiers and accounts we drive, purge is a button in the CDN tab and happens automatically when you publish. With passthrough BYO, you manage purge and SSL in your own provider's panel.
