Unlocking a Lag-Free Player Experience

Server lag is the number one enemy of player retention. A slow, unresponsive server leads to frustration and a dwindling community. While many factors contribute to performance, your server's proxy is the central gateway for all player connections. Optimizing it is the single most effective step you can take. FlameCord is engineered specifically for this purpose. Here's how it makes your entire network faster.

1. Hyper-Efficient Networking Core

At its heart, a proxy moves data. FlameCord does this faster and with less effort than any alternative. By replacing standard Java libraries with high-performance alternatives like Libdeflate compression, we drastically reduce the CPU load required for network traffic. This means more of your server's power is dedicated to running the game, not managing connections.

2. Proactive Security is a Performance Feature

Bot attacks are not just a security threat; they are resource vampires. A bot flood can consume 100% of your CPU and network bandwidth, grinding your server to a halt. FlameCord's integrated anti-bot system is a crucial performance tool:

  • Blocks Attacks Early: By filtering malicious connections at the edge, FlameCord prevents resource-intensive attacks from ever reaching your backend game servers.
  • Prevents Resource Starvation: A server under attack is a server that is lagging for real players. By keeping your proxy protected, you ensure a stable and smooth experience for your legitimate community.

3. Lightweight and Memory Optimized

FlameCord is built on the proven, stable foundation of BungeeCord, but stripped of unnecessary components and optimized for a low memory footprint. A lean proxy means more available RAM for your Spigot servers, allowing you to support more players, more plugins, and larger worlds without needing to upgrade your hardware.

The FlameCord Advantage

Choosing FlameCord isn't just a security upgrade; it's a direct investment in your server's performance. By optimizing every aspect of the connection pipeline—from the networking core to the security layer—we provide a proxy that not only protects your server but makes it fundamentally faster. Stop letting lag dictate your server's potential and give your players the seamless, responsive experience they deserve.
