Kinsta Provides 80% Faster Web Pages With Edge Caching

Edge Caching delivers your webpages to your visitors faster and reduces the number of server requests. No setup is needed, we handle everything automatically.

Cached HTML Worldwide

By using a CDN you place only your static assets — like images and files containing CSS, JavaScript, and fonts — in the 260+ POP locations around the globe.

With the Kinsta Edge Caching solution, pages cached in your site’s local data center are distributed across that same network, delivering that cached HTML worldwide.

Edge Caching can deliver your site’s pages to your visitors faster and reduce the number of server requests. Edge caching does for the HTML of pages what Kinsta’s CDN does for those static assets.

Powered by Cloudflare

The Kinsta CDN and Edge Caching is powered by Cloudflare the world’s largest network powering nearly 20% of the web with 260+ locations around the globe.

When your site visitors load your website, cached responses will be delivered from one of the 260+ locations closest to them.

Early Hints

As part of Kinsta’s Cloudflare integration, Early Hints can be enabled for your WordPress site in MyKinsta. Early Hints is a web standard you can implement to improve page load times by up to 30%.

Thanks to Early Hints the browser can begin preparing the page before it receives the 200 OK response from the server. This allows the browser to efficiently prepare the page for loading resulting in faster load times.

Does Edge Caching work for mobile devices?
