Getting started

warmup.rocks keeps your CDN edge cache warm in 90+ locations worldwide. Setup takes about five minutes and requires no plugin, no script tag and no DNS change to your production traffic.

How it works, in one paragraph

CDNs like Cloudflare, Fastly and Akamai cache per edge location — a page cached in Frankfurt is still cold in Tokyo. warmup.rocks requests your pages through proxies in 42 countries on 6 continents, so each request enters the CDN network in a different region and warms the edge location it lands in. Real visitors then get a cache HIT wherever they are.

1. Create an account

Register with your email address — we send you a magic sign-in link, no password needed. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial; nothing is charged until the trial ends.

2. Create a project

A project is one website. Give it a name and its base URL (e.g. https://example.com), then add your sitemap URL. We resolve nested sitemap indexes automatically and keep the URL list in sync on every run — see Sitemaps & URL discovery.

3. Verify your domain

Before we warm a site on a schedule, you prove you own it — either with a DNS TXT record or a response header. This takes two minutes and protects site owners from unwanted traffic. See Domain verification.

4. Start your first run

Hit Warm now in the dashboard. A run requests every URL from every proxy location and records the CDN, edge location (colo) and cache status (HIT / MISS / EXPIRED) for each request. The first run is mostly MISSes — that's the point: each MISS fills a cache. The second run is where you see the hit ratio climb.

5. Put it on a schedule

Choose an interval that matches your cache TTLs — hourly is right for most sites. From then on, warming runs happen automatically and the dashboard tracks hit ratio, response times and colo coverage over time. See Schedules & intervals.
