Your sites, hosted on Cloudflare
Every site runs on Cloudflare's network, with its own database and media and security on from the first day. Every change is staged, checked before it goes live and undone in one step. We watch every site, every minute.
Stage it, promote it, undo it
Every change goes through the same three steps, from a new theme to the spring menu, on one site or all of them at once.
-
Stage it
The change lands on a private preview of the real site, with its real content. Share the link and look at it on a phone.
-
Promote it
Empress renders your pages after every promote. If one fails, the last good version is back in seconds.
-
Undo it
The last promote reverts in one step. If something newer is live, Empress tells you instead of overwriting it.
Hosting and security, included
Every site comes with hosting on Cloudflare's network, an SSL certificate, a web application firewall and DDoS protection. There is no separate host to find and nothing to set up.
Every site on its own
Each site has its own Worker, its own database and its own media store. One site's data never sits in another's, and each one answers from close to its readers.
Updates roll themselves
Each EmDash release rolls across your sites one at a time, through the same check as any promote. Nobody updates a site by hand, and no site is left behind.
Watched every minute
Every site is checked every minute. The status page runs on its own domain, so it stays up when something else is down.
