Stackpath CDN End of life

The StackPath is moving out of the CDN business. On August 24, 2023, StackPath announced the shutdown of its CDN after seven years of accelerating thousands of websites from their global edge network. The customers were notified by email:

We have some important news to share. StackPath has decided to commit its entire focus to being the industry’s best cloud computing platform built at the Internet’s edge.

With this decision, we will discontinue our StackPath CDN and legacy Highwinds CDN products. StackPath CDN and Highwinds CDN services will cease operations at 12:00 a.m. Central (UTC-6:00) on November 22, 2023.

Stackpath CDN was an integral part of the W3 Total Cache and with this development, we are ceasing to support the Stackpath CDN as of the date mentioned in the announcement. We are working on the replacement for the Stackpath CDN, and this will be announced in the upcoming weeks.
