How does Auto Redirect www/non-www work?

Auto Redirect www/non-www speeds up response time by caching redirect requests. Here’s how it works: The browser sends a request for www.example.com to QUIC.cloud CDN. QUIC.cloud sends the www.example.com request to your origin server. The origin server returns a response, indicating that the www.example.com request was redirected to example.com (the non-www domain). QUIC.cloud returns this … Read more

What happens if I have a non-WordPress site at the same domain?

The simplest answer is that “it’s complicated.” Having multiple web apps at the same domain may or may not be problematic.

What should I do if the QUIC.cloud IP list changes?

You will need to make sure the QUIC.cloud IPs in your firewall’s allowlist are up to date. If you are running LiteSpeed Web Server v5.4.12 or newer, this will be handled automatically.

For some time, the application protocol was referred to … Read more

Does the LiteSpeed Cache crawler also crawl QUIC.cloud CDN?

The crawler included in the LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress plugin will populate the cache at the origin server (but only if it is a LiteSpeed server), and also the cache at the QUIC.cloud PoP closest to the origin server. Under the current CDN cache policy, pages are stored at a PoP for 24 hours … Read more

Can I purge the CDN’s cache?

Yes, however this should not be necessary under normal circumstances. The CDN cache is managed by the LiteSpeed Cache plugin for WordPress, and is sophisticated enough to know when content has changed and requires purging. That said, if you wish to purge the CDN cache manually, visit your QUIC.cloud Dashboard, and press the Purge All … Read more

Can I bypass the CDN?
