In December 2025, we released MAx Cache for Apache, a native module that serves cached WordPress pages directly from the web server without invoking PHP. Today, we're bringing that same capability to Nginx with a purpose-built module that delivers even greater performance gains than the Apache version.

MAx Cache for Nginx works alongside AccelerateWP: hosting providers deploy it at the server level, and site owners enable it through the AccelerateWP plugin in WordPress.

At CloudLinux, we're committed to building performance solutions that help hosting providers run websites faster and more efficiently. As part of our AccelerateWP performance optimization solution, we're excited to announce the beta release of MAx Cache. It's an Apache module that changes how WordPress sites handle requests by running PHP only on cache misses, while cached pages for subsequent requests are served by Apache without invoking PHP. The result: significantly faster page load times.
