Imagine your website loading so fast that it never gives your users time to think twice.
In 2025, that should be the norm, because not only do users, no matter where they are in the world, expect websites to be snappy, but even search engines consider speed as a ranking factor.
At Rapyd Cloud, we’ve been pushing the boundaries of WordPress hosting performance, but now we’re taking another leap forward to bring you even more remarkable website performance that your users will absolutely love.
Introducing Rapyd CDN! 🎉 It’s our next-gen Content Delivery Network that’ll redefine how your WordPress site performs globally
Built specifically for dynamic websites powered by Rapyd Cloud, this will deliver a drastic performance boost to your online presence!
Why Rapyd CDN & What Does It Do?
As stated above, Rapyd CDN is a next-generation Content Delivery Network (CDN) built specifically for Rapyd Cloud-powered WordPress websites. Our CDN is powered by NOC, a technology engineered by the creators of Sucuri.
Rapyd CDN serves your website content from multiple servers, located in several edge locations around the world. The servers cache your static files and optimize images to reduce page load times so that no matter where your visitors are from, they always get the best, most reliable performance.
Additionally, since it operates as a reverse proxy, not only does it speed up the website performance globally, but it also provides essential security benefits like DDoS mitigation, improvements to security certificates, and other optimizations.
Key Features of Rapyd CDN
Rapyd CDN is packed with innovative features and tailored for our users. It packs the features of a couple of website optimization tools alone. Let’s take a look at what makes Rapyd CDN so great and how it will help optimize your website speed even further:
1. Caching Static & Dynamic Pages & Resources
Rapyd CDN caches both static and dynamic pages and resources to our physical servers specifically placed around the world. So no matter what part of the world your visitors are from, they get the same fast experience while browsing your website.
2. Image Optimization
Images are an important part of our website. But at the same time, they are also heavy and slow down your pages. Rapyd CDN will be a game changer for images because it intelligently handles:
- Image Conversion: Compressing the images to load faster while keeping their quality optimal.
- Format Conversion: Conversion of images from other heavy formats to next-gen formats like WebP and reducing the size even more.
3. Distributed Infrastructure
As we already discussed above, Rapyd CDN utilizes globally distributed servers (also known as edge locations) and caches your website in these servers. As a result, your site’s assets—images, JavaScript, CSS are served from a server that is closest to each visitor. The result is significantly faster load times, reduced latency, and a smoother user experience.
4. Enhanced Security
Your website security is of utmost importance to Rapyd Cloud. We already have industry-leading security features in place, in partnership with Monarx and Patchstack. With Rapyd CDN, you’ll fortify your security even further now.
Here’s how:
- DDoS protection: Rapyd CDN will be your first line of defense against DDoS attacks.
- Secure TLS/SSL: The CDN will ensure all the data that you transfer are encrypted, keeping your website data secure.
5. Seamless Integration
The Rapyd CDN is a CDN for WordPress, and it serves its purpose efficiently. Usually, connecting a website to a CDN is a multi-step process. It involves changing domain records, installing plugins, or manually configuring caching rules.
With Rapyd CDN, the process is simple because it’s directly integrated into Rapyd Cloud hosting. If you use Rapyd Cloud for your WordPress hosting, then you can turn on Rapyd CDN with just one click and start delivering your content quickly.
Rapyd CDN Truly Enhances Your Website Performance
Choosing a WordPress hosting with CDN can bring a lot of benefits for your website. In our early testing, WordPress websites using Rapyd CDN saw significant performance improvement. We have seen:
- Up to a 2x improvement in website performance.
- Improved Time to First Byte (TTFB) because we fetch data to users from our closest servers around the globe.
- Better stability during traffic spikes.
For online business owners running WooCommerce stores, LMS sites, or membership sites, these improvements can lead to improved user satisfaction, better search engine rankings, and increased conversions.
More business, more satisfaction, more peace of mind! That’s you, in a nutshell, when you host your websites on Rapyd Cloud.
Looking Forward
With Rapyd CDN now available to all Rapyd Cloud users, you can now offer an even better website experience to your users.
Rapyd Cloud is already regarded as one of the best managed WooCommerce hosting and LMS hosting services. But we’re not stopping just there.
We are working to bring new capabilities to Rapyd CDN. Our developers are actively developing a feature called Rule Set Manager, with which you’ll be able to set custom rules for caching, redirecting, and more. We will still allow the one-click CDN feature, but the advanced users will be able to optimize the CDN rules for unique site requirements. Besides that, we are also bringing enhanced CDN stats data on the dashboard, so you can make more data-driven decisions.
If you are already a Rapyd Cloud user, there was never a more exciting time to be one. If you are not already a Rapyd Cloud user and looking for a WordPress hosting with CDN, you can try Rapyd Cloud for free.
