If you are unsure, ask your hosting provider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because setup involves DNS changes, we recommend making the change at a quieter time for your website. DNS updates are often visible within a few minutes, but in some cases can take several hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Global Cache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the activation link provided by FastPixel. After opening it, go to <strong>Connect Website<\/strong> in your FastPixel dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>gear icon<\/strong> will appear next to your website. Click it and open the <strong>Global Cache<\/strong> section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set up Global Cache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Enter your site IP address<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open your website settings using the gear icon and find <strong>Site IP Address<\/strong> under Global Cache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enter the IP address of the server where your website is hosted, then click <strong>Next Step<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FastPixel will prepare Global Cache for your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you see <strong>\u201cInvalid IP address\u201d<\/strong>, confirm the correct server IP with your hosting provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Add the CNAME record<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FastPixel will show you the DNS record that needs to be added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>Field<\/th><th>What to enter<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Type<\/td><td><code>CNAME<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nom<\/td><td>The domain shown in FastPixel<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Value<\/td><td>The address shown in FastPixel, ending in <code>.b-cdn.net<\/code><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the record exactly as shown in your DNS provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Using Cloudflare?<\/strong> Keep the proxy disabled for this record. The cloud icon should be <strong>gray (DNS only)<\/strong>, not orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are connecting your root domain, such as <code>example.com<\/code>, your DNS provider may not allow a standard CNAME unless you remove the A record first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FastPixel automatically checks your DNS every 15 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cDNS record detected. You can proceed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">click <strong>CNAME is set \u2013 Next Step<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If FastPixel continues showing <strong>Waiting for DNS propagation\u2026<\/strong>, you can safely leave the page and return later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Add the SSL TXT record<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FastPixel will now request an SSL certificate and show you a TXT record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Field<\/td><td>What to enter<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Type<\/td><td><code>TXT<\/code><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nom<\/td><td>The <code>_acme-challenge...<\/code> name shown in FastPixel<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Value<\/td><td>The verification value shown in FastPixel<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Copy both values exactly as displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The TXT record has an expiry date, so make sure you add it before that date. If it expires, return to the previous step and request a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once FastPixel detects the record, click <strong>TXT record added \u2013 Complete SSL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019re done<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the dashboard shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cGlobal Cache is fully configured.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global Cache is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your public pages are now served using our global CDN network, from over 119 locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Managing your cache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can manage Global Cache at any time by clicking the gear icon next to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purge Cache<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use <strong>Purge Cache<\/strong> when you want to clear the cached version of your entire website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is useful after larger changes such as a redesign, theme change, or plugin update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pages will be cached again as visitors access them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purge URL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you changed only one page, use <strong>Purge URL<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paste the full URL, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/example.com\/contact\">https:\/\/example.com\/contact<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and click <strong>Purge URL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The URL must belong to the website you are managing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage used<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Global Cache section also shows how much storage your cached content is using and how many files are currently cached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Global Cache does not cache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Global Cache automatically avoids pages and sessions that need to remain live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This includes logged-in users and active sessions, WordPress admin and login pages, previews, search results, feeds, sitemaps, carts, checkout pages, account pages, payment flows, and similar dynamic content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practical terms, <strong>shoppers and logged-in users receive live pages, while regular visitors receive the cached version whenever possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Troubleshooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td>Problem<\/td><td>What to do<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Waiting for DNS propagation\u2026<\/strong><\/td><td>Check that the DNS record matches the values shown in FastPixel.
