Overview
Warpcache was a Netherlands-based MultiCDN provider founded in 2015 by Wouter Spee and Thijs de Zoete. It specialized in combining multiple CDN platforms into a single service, using Cedexis data for real-time routing and optimization. Warpcache offered granular steering down to the ASN (Autonomous System Number) level, giving customers more precise control than country-level MultiCDN services of the time.
The company was acquired by System73 in 2019. Following the acquisition, Warpcache’s independent MultiCDN platform was discontinued, and its domain later redirected to SimpleCDN. Today, SimpleCDN operates as a single CDN service rather than a MultiCDN integrator.

Migration guidance
Warpcache’s services are no longer available. Its technology and model have not been continued by System73 or SimpleCDN. Customers looking for modern MultiCDN platforms may consider Mlytics or IORiver. For single-provider alternatives, Akamai and Cloudflare remain widely adopted.
History & Notes
Warpcache was notable for being one of the first turnkey MultiCDN platforms alongside TurboBytes. Its focus on ASN-level performance routing set it apart from competitors who worked at broader country-level granularity. Although the brand and platform no longer exist, Warpcache helped shape the early MultiCDN ecosystem.
