Integration Guide

Drupal

Accelerate your Drupal site and reduce server load on content-heavy pages.

Setup Steps

  1. 1

    Add your domain in Fast

    Log in to your Fast dashboard and add your Drupal site domain.

  2. 2

    Update your DNS

    Point your domain's DNS to the Fast edge servers using the records provided in your dashboard.

  3. 3

    Clear Drupal cache

    Run drush cr or clear caches from Configuration → Performance.

  4. Done!

    Your Drupal site is now accelerated. Pages and assets are cached at the edge.

Drupal-aware caching

Fast Edge Cache works with Drupal's caching:

  • Authenticated user pages bypass cache
  • Admin and edit pages stay dynamic
  • Form submissions work correctly
  • Anonymous pages and media cached globally

Performance impact

Typical Drupal sites see:

  • • 79% faster TTFB (750ms → 160ms)
  • • 57% faster LCP (3.5s → 1.5s)
  • • Reduced database queries on cached pages

Tip for multilingual sites

Fast caches each language variant separately, so your multilingual Drupal site will serve the correct language to each visitor without configuration.
