The web just changed. Welcome to the edge of possibility.
On July 16, 2025, Pressidium launched a new layer of infrastructure, Pressidium EDGE, and with it, a new era for WordPress.
This is so much more than a performance upgrade. This is a redefinition of what managed WordPress hosting can be.
Built from the ground up and embedded directly into the Pressidium platform, Edge is a real-time global system that delivers content faster, blocks threats earlier, and routes traffic with intelligence that borders on autonomy.
From your visitor’s first request to the last rendered pixel, Pressidium EDGE rewires the entire journey, executing decisions at the edge of the network, not inside the data center. Your site isn’t served from a server anymore. It’s deployed across a planet-wide network.
And the results are undeniable.
Pressidium EDGE in Numbers
- 6 Continents with Edge Locations
- 22 Core & Regional Compute Zones
- <100ms Time-to-First-Byte Guaranteed
- 100K+ Attacks Blocked per Minute
- Speed up your site TTFB by more than 50%
No plugins. No hacks. Just power.
The Edge Is the New Performance Layer
In a conventional stack, speed is a side effect of optimization. In Pressidium EDGE, it’s the default behavior. Every request begins and ends closer to the user, processed at the edge, cached at the edge, resolved at the edge.
This global performance envelope surrounds your site like a halo, making it feel instant from anywhere on Earth. And because it’s the only service of its kind built specifically for WordPress, it understands the dynamic nature of your site, what should be cached, what should not, and how to serve personalized experiences without delay.
This is the end of one-size-fits-all CDNs. This is precision-tuned edge acceleration, fused into the core of your platform.
- Full-Stack Edge Caching: Static and dynamic content, API responses, AJAX calls, even logged-in user sessions – delivered from the edge with zero compromise.
- Global PoP Intelligence: Every site is accelerated across 6 Continents and 22 backend core and regional cache zones, tuned for <100ms Time-to-First-Byte anywhere in the world.
- Smart Protocol Handling: Native support for HTTP/3 and optimized SSL/TLS handshakes reduce connection latency by up to 5x, and boost your page load time by more than 50%.
The Global Perimeter Is Now Your First Line of Defense
Pressidium EDGE intercepts and filters every request before it even touches your origin. Our evolved Edge Web Application Firewall inspects traffic in real time, applying managed rules that target the unique vulnerabilities of WordPress core, plugins, themes, logins, forms, and everything in between.
This is not generic bot-blocking. This is full-spectrum threat mitigation, built specifically for the software that powers your site.
It blocks Layer 7 attacks before they reach PHP. It stops credential stuffing before it hits your login page. It patches known vulnerabilities before you even update the plugin. And with custom rules, geo-blocking, and upcoming rate-limiting and threat intelligence integrations, it adapts to your needs with surgical precision.
Pressidium EDGE isn’t security added on. It’s security redefined, embedded in the flow of every packet.
- WordPress-Specific Rule Engine: Stop exploits in core, themes, and plugins with curated WAF rules updated by WordPress security experts.
- Always-On DDoS Mitigation: Defend against volumetric (L3/L4) and application-layer (L7) attacks globally, in real time.
- Customizable Access Controls: Block or allow traffic by IP, country, headers, User-Agent, or behavior – with precise rule matching and flexible actions.
Seamless Transition
Edge isn’t a disruption. It’s an evolution! One designed to slot perfectly into your current workflow. Pressidium EDGE honors your existing configurations, rules, and plugins while delivering instant, tangible benefits.
There’s no migration. No downtime. No replatforming. Just a single DNS update, and the entire edge network snaps into place.
- Zero Reconfiguration Required: Your existing security rules and cache exclusions are preserved and extended to the edge automatically.
- High-Availability Load Balancing: Your site is instantly distributed across global compute zones with built-in failover and regional fault tolerance.
- Fully Integrated Management: Everything is managed from your Pressidium Dashboard – no third-party tools, no new systems to learn.
