Good News Everyone!

We are proud to announce that we deployed the very first African QUIC CDN node in Cape Town. It's currently undergoing extensive bench-marking, before going live later this week.

What is QUIC.cloud?

QUIC.cloud is the first and only content delivery network with the ability to cache dynamic WordPress pages. Using QUIC as the transfer protocol, QUIC.cloud will make your website faster and more secure than the competition.
QUIC.cloud greatly reduces transmission time to all of your site’s visitors, no matter where they live. Your website is potentially located across the globe from its visitors, but with QUIC.cloud, your content is cached on servers all around the world. When a visitor requests content from your site, a copy is served from the visitor’s nearest server location. By transmitting both static and dynamic content from the closest server, instead of from the main site server, QUIC.cloud dramatically speeds up your site.
Please Note: QUIC.cloud is still in its beta stage, and is not recommended for use in production environments.

Free accounts will be able to use up to 20GB of traffic per month.

We will update you as soon as the CT node is fully operational.

Am I correct in assuming that you have deployed a server and given Litespeed Tech access to it and this is not your product, but a service thats owned by Litespeed tech?

That is correct, we have partnered up with Litespeed Tech and this is their product that is currently in it`s development stages.
 
Just a "QUIC" update - there have been some delays due to Thanksgiving but the guys from Litespeed are working on the node and it should be ready later this week :giggle:
 
Beta testing is going great so far :D I do recommend that local Wordpress users try it out.

Setting up QUIC in Wordpress & WHM/cPanel:

1. Register at https://www.quic.cloud/

2. Add your test domain via https://my.quic.cloud/

3. If you have access to WHM navigate to "Edit DNS Zone" and change your domain`s www record value to the value generated in your QUIC dash, for example c934583.tier1.quic.cloud, alternatively ask your hosting provider to modify it for you. Example - www - 3600 - IN - CNAME - c934583.tier1.quic.cloud.

4. Login to your test site`s wp-admin and navigate to General Settings then change the URLs to include www for example - https://www.mytestdomain.co.za ( You may skip this part if your domain already loads with www by default)

5. In wp-admin make sure the Litespeed Cache plugin is installed then navigate to LiteSpeed Cache/Settings then click on "CDN" at the top (if you do not see the "CDN" tab, click on Show Advanced Options top right), scroll down to "QUIC Cloud API" and fill in your email and API that can be found at https://my.quic.cloud/ and ensure you select "ON" then scroll down and click on Save Changes.

The DNS change may require some time to propagate. Once done you can ping the domain to test if it is pointing to the Cape Town node (197.189.253.162)

You may either select "Generate a SSL certificate" for the cached content via https://my.quic.cloud/. Alternatively you may upload the same SSL certificate linked to the origin/cPanel -> (Recommended)

Lastly you can navigate to https://dnschecker.org/, leave it set to A and search for you test domain. You will see multiple regional IPs for your domain. The full list of QUIC node IPs can be viewed at - https://www.quic.cloud/ips

You can also verify the CDN/QUIC is active via https://my.quic.cloud/ - Next to Domain status you will find -> Active Static Cache Frontend SSL Backend SSL - Depending on your configuration.
