Pressable CDN

The Pressable CDN or content delivery network is available to all Pressable hosting customers. It’s as simple as flipping a switch, and Pressable will immediately begin to serve your content from the closest server or “point of presence” to the user.

Supported Pressable CDN Content Types

The Pressable CDN applies or supports the following content types or file formats. The CDN does not apply to pages or data from the database.

  • jpg, jpeg
  • gif
  • png
  • webp
  • css
  • bmp
  • js
  • woff2
  • ico

Pressable CDN Files Not Supported

PDF and SVG files.

Can I combine CDNs?

The short answer is: probably not. Pressable notes that it’s best to not overlap content delivery networks, including their own Edge Cache CDN and Jetpack CDN.

CDN Cache Control

You can clear, purge and flush the CDN cache at any time via the MyPressable Control Panel. The default cache-control header is 7 days, but that can be customized with the Pressable Cache Management plugin.

Pressable Pricing

Fully managed WordPress hosting from Pressable starts at $25.00 per month for 1 website. Pressable pricing while not inexpensive, is fair and competitive with the competition.

Pressable hosting is considered “premium” WordPress hosting, and while technically defined as “shared hosting” it should not be compared to traditional shared hosting.

Pressable like other WordPress exclusive platforms has built-in optimizations that make building (developer tools), operating (security and speed) and upgrading (easy staging sites) a WordPress website much better.

Pressable Login

Pressable has an accessible login link right in their website navigation. Here is the official Pressable login URL:

https://my.pressable.com

Pressable Sign In

If you prefer, you can also login with an account from GitHub, Google or WordPress.com.

Note: I always caution against using third-party authentication for important accounts as you don’t want to tie together accounts from different vendors with one password or set of credentials. For example, if you lose access to your Google account, you could also lose access to every service that uses Google authentication! I reserve “Login with <fill in the blank>” for unimportant or temporary accounts, not something as important as web hosting.

We know the Pressable network is solid, given it’s run by Automattic which knows a thing or two about high volume hosting. Specifications matter, but invariably issues will arise and what you really want is good, consistent support.
