We are excited to introduce a new service designed to redefine performance standards for WordPress websites: Accelerator for WordPress.
Advanced caching with dynamic content optimization
Accelerator for WordPress adds a powerful, intelligent caching layer on top of your site. But it goes far beyond traditional caching – it dynamically optimizes content in real time, injecting asynchronous scripts, deferring non-critical resources, and intelligently managing asset loading.
The result? Dramatically faster page loads, improved Google PageSpeed and Lighthouse scores, and an enhanced user experience that keeps visitors engaged and drives conversions.
Learn more in our detailed Accelerator documentation.
No plugins needed – Accelerator for WordPress works out of the box
While many site owners rely on plugins like WP Rocket to improve performance, Accelerator for WordPress provides similar – and in many cases superior – benefits without requiring any plugin installation or complex configuration.
Accelerator operates at the edge level within our infrastructure. You don’t have to worry about compatibility issues, updates, or conflicts with other plugins. Everything is managed seamlessly, allowing you to focus entirely on your content and business growth.
Real-time configuration with Edit Mode
Alongside Accelerator for WordPress, we’re introducing Edit Mode, a unique feature that lets you fine-tune optimization settings and preview changes in real time.
With Edit Mode, you can easily adjust script handling, caching behavior, and performance strategies — all while immediately seeing the impact on your live site before publishing any updates.
Explore the possibilities in our Edit Mode documentation.
Example use case: boosting an e-commerce store
Imagine a busy WooCommerce store experiencing slow load times during seasonal sales. By activating Accelerator for WordPress, the store can move heavy dynamic processing to the edge cache, allowing product pages and checkout flows to load significantly faster.
With automatic asynchronous script injection, crucial marketing scripts (analytics, tracking pixels, chat widgets) no longer block the main content, improving time to first paint and reducing bounce rates.
Using Edit Mode, the store manager can further control which scripts to defer, test various caching policies, and preview results instantly – all without involving a developer.
Why choose Accelerator for WordPress?
✅ Significantly faster load times – through advanced caching and real-time content optimization.
✅ Out-of-the-box solution – no plugins, no manual setup, no maintenance overhead.
✅ Improved SEO and Core Web Vitals scores – driving better search visibility and user engagement.
✅ Full control with Edit Mode – test and adjust optimizations safely and instantly.
✅ Seamless integration with any WordPress site – works regardless of existing themes or plugins.
Accelerator for WordPress represents a new generation of performance technology, delivering results comparable to (and often surpassing) traditional solutions like WP Rocket — without the burden of plugin management.
We invite you to experience the difference today.
