warmup.rocks is live — no more cold CDN edges

A CDN isn't one cache. It's hundreds of independent ones, and most of them are cold. Cloudflare alone runs 300+ data centers, each with its own memory — so your page can be instant in Frankfurt and ice cold in Tokyo, where the first visitor pays the full origin round trip. Across 408,000 measured requests, a miss ran 3.5× slower than a hit.

warmup.rocks fixes that at the edge. On a schedule, it requests your pages from 42 countries across 6 continents, warming 90+ edge locations per pass — then reads the cache-status headers back so you see the real hit ratio per location, per run. Warming without verification is just hoping.

Also shipping today: sitemap auto-discovery (nested indexes resolved before every run), CDN auto-detection for Cloudflare, Fastly, CloudFront, Akamai, bunny.net and CDN77, deploy hooks plus an official GitHub Action, a mobile user-agent pass, and email alerts when a WAF rule blocks a run.

Nothing to install. No plugin, no DNS change. Two free tools with no signup: a multi-location cache checker and a website speed test.

    I'm curious what convinced you verification is ultimately more valuable than warming itself.

    From the users you've spoken with, did they see cold cache misses as the real problem, or was the bigger frustration not knowing whether their existing cache-warming approach was actually working?
