Features

Caching done right. For India.

Built on Varnish and Nginx — battle-tested by the world's largest websites, now available for yours.

Varnish Cache Layer

Industry-standard Varnish Cache sits in front of your origin, serving cached responses in microseconds. Typical cache hit rates of 85–95% for static content.

India-Optimised Delivery

Our Bangalore edge is directly connected to the HostupCloud backbone, ensuring sub-20ms response times for users across India.

Smart Cache Invalidation

Purge individual URLs, path patterns, or your entire cache instantly via dashboard or REST API — no waiting for TTL expiry.

Nginx Reverse Proxy

Nginx handles HTTP/2, gzip/Brotli compression, SSL termination, and request routing before passing uncached requests to your origin.

DDoS & Bot Protection

Rate limiting, IP reputation filtering, and volumetric DDoS protection at the edge — malicious traffic is dropped before reaching your origin.

Custom Cache Rules

Define cache TTLs, bypass rules, and Vary headers per URL pattern. Full VCL (Varnish Configuration Language) access for advanced users.

Real-time Analytics

Live dashboard showing cache hit/miss ratio, bandwidth served, request rates, and top cached URLs — updated every 30 seconds.

S3 Bucket as Origin

Use a HostupCloud Object Storage bucket directly as your CDN origin. Upload files to S3, get a delivery URL instantly — no server needed.

Stale-While-Revalidate

Serve stale cached content while fetching a fresh copy in the background. Zero downtime even when your origin is slow or briefly unavailable.

How It Works

Live in under 5 minutes.

No complex setup. No code changes. Just point your DNS and your site gets faster instantly.

01

Choose your origin

Pick where your files live — your own server (HTTP/HTTPS) or a HostupCloud S3 bucket. Both work seamlessly as the cache origin.

  • Option A — Your server: Apache, Nginx, Node.js, WordPress
  • Option B — HostupCloud S3 bucket (no server needed)
  • Free SSL auto-provisioned via Let's Encrypt
02

Cache starts immediately

Varnish and Nginx begin caching your static assets, pages, and API responses on the first request. Subsequent requests are served from cache instantly.

  • Images, CSS, JS, fonts cached by default
  • HTML pages cached based on your TTL rules
  • Cache-Control headers respected automatically
03

Manage & purge anytime

Use the dashboard or REST API to purge individual URLs, wildcard paths, or your full cache. Deploy new content with confidence.

  • Single URL purge in < 1 second
  • Wildcard path purge (e.g. /images/*)
  • Full cache purge via one click or API call
