BigScoots Essential 75 CDN: Cloudflare Included—But Is Boost Included?
The short answer
BigScoots Essential 75 includes a **Cloudflare-powered CDN**, but the current pricing table does **not** show Boost by BigScoots as included on this plan. Boost starts as an included license on Essential 125, while the Essential 75 checkout offers Boost as a **$9.99/month add-on**.
That distinction matters because "CDN included" and "Boost/Cloudflare Enterprise performance stack" are not the same entitlement. Essential 75 already gets useful edge delivery; buyers should not assume every advanced BigScoots caching control is bundled at $35/month.
At a glance
- Best for
- One-site WordPress buyers deciding whether the included CDN is enough or Boost/Essential 125 is worth paying for.
- Price model
- $35/mo or $350/yr; Boost optional $9.99/mo; Essential 125 $60/mo with one Boost license.
- Check first
- Essential 75 includes CDN but not an included Boost license in the current matrix; dynamic WooCommerce pages still need cache bypass.
What Essential 75 includes today
Essential 75 is $35/month or $350/year, with one WordPress site, 75k monthly visitors, 10GB storage, 150GB bandwidth and a Cloudflare-powered CDN.
Cloudflare's own documentation says static assets such as images, CSS and JavaScript are normally cacheable, while dynamic HTML depends on cache rules and origin headers.
Boost is a separate purchase on Essential 75
The BigScoots comparison table shows no included Boost license for Essential 75; Essential 125 and higher list Boost licenses. The Essential 75 checkout separately offers **Boost for $9.99/month per site**.
So the real upgrade math is not automatically $35 versus $60. A buyer can keep Essential 75 and add Boost for about $44.99/month, or move to Essential 125 at $60/month for more traffic/storage/bandwidth plus one included Boost license.
BigScoots Cache is not the same as the Boost license
BigScoots describes its Cache plugin as CDN-level page caching that can work with a customer's own Cloudflare Free/Pro/Business account or with BigScoots' Cloudflare Enterprise-based performance solution.
The plugin itself keeps evolving: version 5.0.1 shipped in October 2026, with recent releases adding multilingual purge behavior, Full Site Editing handling and more cache-control hooks.
Having the plugin therefore does not by itself prove that Essential 75 includes Boost/Enterprise.
Enterprise controls are a higher-capability layer
BigScoots' announcement about granular caching by country, region/state, city and device says those controls were built for clients using Cloudflare Enterprise.
Essential 75 clearly includes a Cloudflare-powered CDN, but the current matrix does not include Boost on that tier. If a specific Enterprise-style control matters, confirm that the optional Boost add-on supplies it before paying.
WooCommerce needs cache exclusions
A faster edge cache is not automatically safe for every URL. WooCommerce says Cart, Checkout and My Account pages must remain dynamic and should be excluded from page caching.
Cloudflare similarly warns that caching authenticated or checkout routes too aggressively can break sessions, cookies and forms. After changing cache settings, test add-to-cart, login, checkout, account pages and payment callbacks in a fresh browser session.
Base CDN, Boost or Essential 125?
For a content-heavy blog or mostly cacheable WordPress site, Essential 75's included CDN plus sensible page caching may already deliver most of the value you need. WordPress notes that page caching can substantially reduce repeated server processing for relatively static pages.
Add Boost when the 75k-visit/10GB/150GB envelope still fits but you specifically need the BigScoots performance layer. Move to Essential 125 when you also need 125k visits, 15GB storage, 500GB bandwidth and an included Boost license.
For WooCommerce or membership sites, remember that checkout/account routes still need to bypass cache, so the upgrade should be justified by cacheable page performance and origin capacity.
Buying decision
Choose Essential 75 when one site, 75k visits, 10GB storage and 150GB bandwidth fit, and the included Cloudflare CDN is enough. Add Boost when you specifically need its performance layer. Move to Essential 125 when both the higher resource envelope and included Boost license justify the extra cost.
