Built for viral moments

Burst Mode

Traffic spikes shouldn't crash your site. Our Burst Mode automatically allocates additional resources the moment demand increases. Handling viral posts, marketing campaigns, and unexpected surges without slowdowns or downtime.

Instant resource allocation

When CPU usage, memory consumption, or request volume exceeds normal levels, Burst Mode triggers immediately. Your site scales to handle the load within seconds, not minutes.

Database connection scaling

Traffic spikes don’t just stress PHP workers, they flood database connections. Burst Mode automatically expands connection pools to prevent bottlenecks that cause timeouts and errors during high demand.

Smart cache coordination

Burst Mode works with our caching layers to intelligently pre-load frequently accessed content across edge locations, ensuring viral traffic hits cached versions instead of overwhelming your origin server.

Frequently Asked

Do I need to configure anything for Burst Mode to work?

Simply add the Burst Mode Pixie to your site and enable it with a toggle switch in your dashboard. After that, everything is automatic—no thresholds to set, no monitoring required, just instant protection during traffic spikes.

How long does Burst Mode stay active?

Burst Mode remains active as long as your site experiences elevated demand. Once traffic returns to normal levels, resources automatically scale back down to your baseline allocation.

Will I be charged extra for using Burst Mode?

The Burst Mode Pixie is billed monthly at a fixed rate. Once you’ve added it to your site, there are no usage fees, overage charges, or hidden costs, just predictable monthly pricing regardless of how often it activates.

Does Burst Mode protect against DDoS attacks?

Burst Mode handles legitimate traffic surges. For malicious attack traffic, our DDoS protection and WAF systems work separately to filter and block threats before they consume your resources.
