Turbo Deployments # Deploy at Lightning Speed Bundle your project files into a single compressed archive and transfer them in one go. Dramatically faster deployments, especially for projects with many files.

This is significantly faster for projects with thousands of files, reducing the number of transfer operations from hundreds to just one. ## The Problem with Individual File Transfers Transferring hundreds of files one by one creates massive overhead — each file requires its own connection handshake.

Fewer connections, less overhead, faster results. ![Zap icon](/assets/icons/zap-17eaa1be55c76d539c8ab6b4c667d86fc6478529af6fc62d282cf996beda3fe0.svg) ### Reduced Overhead Eliminate the cost of establishing hundreds of individual connections. One archive, one transfer, done. ![Rocket icon](/assets/icons/rocket-270a2a2320b804363b0337aa5e6bda7fc7a8d24b928d97ee26961e5bb9225b4f.svg) ### Faster Transfers Single archive transfers are significantly faster than sending many small files individually, especially over high-latency connections. ![Server icon](/assets/icons/server-3dea9382c13b5eb86283b34dac5391d37d7daab491d2ab3b3f48fb6c03df33de.svg) ### Gzip Compression Archives are compressed before transfer, reducing the total amount of data sent over the network. ![Shield icon](/assets/icons/shield-check-a41a13fb7948321ec9c27cc6c623578153c9caa1fc75851bcd93afbe7dbe79f1.svg) ### Automatic Fallback If archive transfer fails, the system automatically falls back to individual file transfer for maximum reliability.

Turbo Deployments can be significantly faster than standard file-by-file transfers. By bundling your project into a single compressed archive, the upload is completed in one transfer rather than hundreds of individual file operations. ### Do Turbo Deployments work with all server types? Turbo Deployments are available for SSH/SFTP servers. The server extracts the archive automatically, so you need SSH access for the extraction step. For FTP-only servers, standard deployments are used instead. ### Is there any additional cost for Turbo Deployments? No. Turbo Deployments are included with all DeployHQ plans at no extra charge. Simply enable the option in your server configuration to start using faster deployments immediately. ## Ready to supercharge your deployments? Start deploying faster today.
