Global Edge Cache

WordPress.com’s Global Edge Cache makes your site load faster for visitors around the world by taking advantage of our global network of data centers. Enabling this caching feature brings your content closer to your visitors, wherever they might be—this means faster load times, less waiting, and a better overall experience.

Many hosts charge extra for this kind of edge caching or require integration with a third-party provider. On WordPress.com, global edge caching is included on every plan without any bandwidth restrictions.

How to enable Global Edge Caching

The WordPress.com Global Edge Cache is always enabled for sites on the Free, Personal, and Premium plans. On a Business or Commerce site, you can enable the global edge cache from the Performance settings page.

Here’s how to do it: 

  1. Visit your site’s dashboard and navigate to Hosting → Overview (or Settings → Hosting Configuration if using the default interface style).
  2. Click the Settings tab.
  3. Scroll down to the Server section.
  4. Click on Caching.
  5. Click the toggle for “Enable global edge caching for faster content delivery.”
