    Hello Jetpack Support Team,

    I’m reaching out for assistance with a specific issue regarding the Jetpack CDN cache (i1.wp.com).

    1. Purge All Assets: We need to purge all of our images and assets from the wp.com cache. Although we turned off the Site Accelerator months ago, the cached assets are still being served from the Jetpack CDN. example: https://i1.wp.com/www.enterpriseappstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/UBId7-huawei-smartphone-market-share-in-china-by-quarter–1024×527.png
    2. Hotlinking Issue: Another website is scraping our content and ranking while displaying all of our images directly from the Jetpack cache. Despite disabling the Site Accelerator, they continue to display our images from i1.wp.com.
    3. Lack of Purge or Hotlinking Controls: There doesn’t seem to be any method to manually purge cached images or stop hotlinking through the Jetpack CDN. This is negatively affecting the security and protection of our content.
    4. Renaming Assets Not Feasible: We do not believe renaming all of our image assets is a practical solution to “renew” the cache. We need a more effective way to remove these cached files.

    Could you please advise on how we can either:

    • Purge all cached images and assets from the Jetpack CDN, or
    • Implement a solution to block hotlinking from other domains via the Jetpack CDN.
      Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hi @enterpriseapp –

    The issues you highlight are some of the limitations of Site Accelerator. We unfortunately don’t have a way to purge all assets from a specific domain.

    In your case, I’d recommend blocking Site Accelerator at the server level. You can do this by adding the following code to your site’s .htaccess file:

    # Block Photon
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Photon/1.0 [NC]
    RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

    That should prevent other sites from using Site Accelerator to cache your images.
