WordPress CDN

Kinsta's premium CDN powered by Cloudflare helps to maximize the performance of your site. With the cdn endpoint you can perform actions like clearing the CDN cache for your sites.

You can obtain the environment_id using the GET request with the WordPress Site Environments endpoint.

The environment_id is also shown after the site_id in the URL in MyKinsta when you access the environment, for example in the URL https://my.kinsta.com/sites/details/fbab4927-e354-4044-b226-29ac0fbd20ca/c84ce214-69b9-4a32-8e67-880672cf1d38?idCompany=bdd25d71-5706-4890-870f-1adda17c505d:

  • The site_id is fbab4927-e354-4044-b226-29ac0fbd20ca
  • The environment_id is c84ce214-69b9-4a32-8e67-880672cf1d38
  • The company_id is bdd25d71-5706-4890-870f-1adda17c505d

You can obtain the cdn_cache_id using the GET request with the WordPress Site Environments endpoint.

The CDN endpoints may trigger longer tasks (from a few seconds to around a minute) on your environments. This is why they provide 202 Accepted response, with an operation_id in the body. To check the progress, you can use the /operations endpoint.
