Pages built from layouts

The front page and every landing page of this site are zones and blocks put together in a visual editor: editors rearrange a page, and nobody touches a template.

The admin is built from layouts too

Since 6.0.15 the administration interface itself is a set of layouts, so a team can give editors the admin they need, with one switch back to the stock page.

The same site, served by Exponential Velocity

Velocity boots Exponential once and keeps warm workers in memory, so pages answer in milliseconds without Apache or PHP-FPM; compare the numbers below.

This tour on Velocity The front page on Velocity Velocity control panel

The same pages, Apache and Velocity

The same pages of this site, measured on this server through Apache with PHP-FPM and through Exponential Velocity: the median time until the page arrives, once from the cache and once rendered.

Loading the last measurement...

Measured from the server itself on demand of an administrator, never by your visit. Both servers run the same installation, the same database and the same caches.

E-mail that visitors control

Optional mail is off until a person turns it on, every mail carries a one-click unsubscribe, and every choice is logged and can be exported: built along US, EU and Canadian law.

An audit trail nobody can rewrite

Sign-ins, content changes, settings writes, cache clears and deploys go into a tamper-evident log that proves its own integrity.

PHP 8.0 to 8.5, and a console for everything

The same code runs on PHP 8.0 to 8.5 and is tested on every push; deploys, caches, Velocity and content jobs are console commands.
