Introducing .htaccess Caching in MAx Cache: 20% Faster Apache Page Loads

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 16:15:29 GMT

Hosting servers with Apache can now handle 18% more traffic with 20% faster response times, without any configuration changes. Today we're announcing the beta release of .htaccess cache, a new feature in MAx Cache that compiles .htaccess files into memory, eliminating the per-request disk I/O that slows down every page load on a server.

This new feature builds on the MAx Cache for Apache module we released in December 2025 and the MAx Cache for Nginx module that followed in early 2026. If you already run MAx Cache for Apache, you get .htaccess caching with a single package update. No new packages, no new configuration.

This release also adds CloudLinux 10 support across the entire MAx Cache stack: Apache module, Nginx module, and .htaccess caching..
