Current availability of the listed service is not confirmed. Acquired by System73 in 2019-10.

Overview

Warpcache launched in 2015 as a Netherlands-based multi-CDN service. Warpcache B.V. was incorporated in 2016; the product began in Hilversum and the registered office later moved to Utrecht.

The platform combined real user measurements, traffic steering, a dashboard and API. Warpshield added an origin-facing layer for multi-CDN delivery.

Network

Warpcache used measurements to route traffic across connected CDNs. Warpshield sat between those CDNs and the origin.

When planning a replacement, check which CDNs the existing setup uses and where they serve your audience.

Past features

Warpcache used real-user measurements to choose a delivery network. A dashboard and API managed traffic routing, and Warpshield added a shared layer in front of the origin.

These describe the older Warpcache platform. For an existing account, ask System73 which features and integrations are still supported.

Service status

Before replacing an existing Warpcache setup, check its traffic-routing rules, connected CDNs and origin-protection settings. Ask System73 about support for your account, then test the replacement before changing DNS.

History timeline

  • 2015 — Warpcache product launched from Hilversum — Spil Games was the launch customer.
  • 2016 — Warpcache B.V. incorporated — A November 2016 company release described the multi-CDN platform and Warpshield.
  • 2019-10 — System73 acquired all shares in Warpcache B.V. — Contact System73 about support for an existing account.

Budgeting for a replacement

Budget traffic steering, CDN delivery and origin protection separately. Use current supplier quotes, including transfer rates, request charges, monthly minimums and platform fees. Reducing origin traffic can lower the origin bill; it does not reduce the bytes delivered to viewers.

Historical integrations

The historical announcement describes a dashboard and API. For an old account, ask System73 about current endpoints, documentation and migration options.

Inventory DNS, origins, certificates, cache behavior, shield configuration, purge paths and reporting before replacing the system. Test each selected CDN and the controller independently.

What to know

Recover the routing policies, connected CDN agreements and origin-protection settings from an old Warpcache setup. Use them to test a replacement before switching traffic.

Planning a replacement

For a new project, compare current services and prices. For an existing Warpcache account, check support and contract terms with System73 before changing the setup.

History
