Performance Upgrade
High-frequency hosting and CDN pre-caching for faster delivery under real-world load.
What is Performance Upgrade?
Performance Upgrade is the high-frequency hosting layer used for workloads that need faster delivery, better cache behaviour, and a more performance-focused runtime. It combines StackCDN pre-caching with newer high-frequency compute and package-wide uplift, so the websites inside the package benefit from a stronger baseline without changing how the project is built.
It is an ANOMONIX:Stack feature, available as a paid upgrade on lower-core ANOMONIX:Stack packages and included automatically on 4+ core ANOMONIX:Stack packages.
Key Features
StackCDN Pre-Caching
Content is pre-fetched at global CDN locations to improve cache-hit consistency and speed up cached delivery.
High Frequency Compute
Latest-generation CPUs documented at 3.30 GHz base and up to 4.20 GHz turbo for stronger application response.
Faster Benchmarks
Roughly 25% faster benchmark performance versus standard nodes according to the current platform description.
MySQL Storage Lift
Database storage allowance increases to up to 5GB per database on upgraded packages.
Package-Wide Uplift
The performance layer applies across all websites inside the package rather than one site at a time.
Built Into 4+ Core Packages
4-core and larger cloud packages include Performance Upgrade as part of the operational baseline.
Performance Impact
Performance Upgrade is designed for workloads where latency, caching behaviour, and compute speed matter most:
- Faster cached delivery through CDN pre-caching across global edge locations.
- Stronger server responsiveness from higher-frequency compute nodes.
- Roughly 25% stronger benchmark performance versus standard nodes.
- Broader package coverage because the uplift applies to all websites in the package.
- Commercial-ready baseline on 4+ ANOMONIX:Stack cores where the upgrade is included by default.
Perfect For
- Commerce workloads where response time and cached delivery directly affect conversion.
- Content-heavy websites, member platforms, and busier business websites.
- Projects serving multiple websites from one package that all benefit from the uplift.
- Teams moving from entry-level packages into commercial deployment territory.
- Customers who want stronger performance without redesigning the whole hosting stack.
