Global performance and security, out of the box

Static assets and cacheable responses are served directly from memory at the edge, closest to your users. You get lower latency for repeat requests, fewer requests hitting your workers, and less wasted compute on content that doesn’t change.

Your app’s assets are available from hundreds of locations worldwide by default. There’s no separate CDN setup, no custom headers to debug, and no risk of forgetting to cache something critical. Users get fast first responses whether they’re across the street or across the ocean.

Custom domains and SSL certificates are provisioned automatically and renewed continuously. Your app stays reachable and encrypted without ongoing maintenance.

Laravel Cloud includes a managed Web Application Firewall with OWASP protections enabled by default. Common attack patterns are blocked before they reach your app, while legitimate traffic keeps flowing. Bot traffic and AI crawlers can be challenged or blocked automatically without writing custom rules.

Abusive clients are stopped before they consume application resources. Rate limits and challenges are enforced at the network layer, where they’re most effective. Business plans can apply custom thresholds and advanced protections for high-traffic or high-risk endpoints, without pushing that logic into middleware.
