HYPERDRIVE
Faster hosting,
on demand
Hyperdrive supercharges any hosting plan with high-frequency compute, pre-caching and a bigger database. Add it to a website whenever you need more speed.
Hyperdrive is our high-frequency performance upgrade. Turn it on for a busy website and get faster processors, smarter caching and a bigger database, without moving to a whole new plan.
Latest-generation 4.2GHz processors deliver up to 25% faster overall performance, so your busiest pages stay quick under load.
We pre-fetch your content to global CDN locations, so visitors get a fast cache hit from the very first request, not after the first slow load.
Raises the standard 1 GB database limit to 5 GB, giving busier and ecommerce sites room to store much more data.
An exclusive cache report shows exactly which URLs are eligible for caching, with the detail you need to fine-tune performance.
Turn Hyperdrive on for a single website, on any of our web, WordPress, cloud or VPS plans. No need to upgrade everything.
Switch Hyperdrive on when you need it, for a seasonal rush or a growing store, and turn it off just as easily. No long contract.
As a website grows, the odd page can start to feel sluggish at peak times. Hyperdrive gives that site faster processors and smarter caching, so it keeps up with demand. It is perfect for online shops, launch days and content-heavy sites that need a boost without the jump to a bigger plan.
Pre-caching means your pages are ready at the edge before your visitors ask for them, and the cache report shows you exactly what is being served fast. Add the expanded 5 GB database and you have real headroom for growth, all from your control panel.
Add Hyperdrive to any hosting plan, one website at a time. No long contract, cancel any time.
