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.
Last updated on 22nd February 2026
Turbo deployments bundle your entire project into a single compressed archive and transfer it in one operation, rather than uploading files individually. 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.
Each file requires a separate connection handshake, creating massive overhead — especially for projects with hundreds or thousands of files.
Turbo Deployments — One Archive, One Transfer
Files are bundled into a single compressed TAR archive and transferred in one go. Faster, simpler, more efficient.
How It Works
Turbo Deployments streamline the transfer process with intelligent bundling and compression.
Bundle Files
Your project files are collected and bundled into a single TAR archive.
Compress
The archive is compressed with gzip, reducing total transfer size significantly.
Transfer
The single compressed archive is transferred to your server in one connection.
Extract & Deploy
The archive is extracted on your server and your deployment is complete.
Why Turbo Deployments?
Fewer connections, less overhead, faster results.
Reduced Overhead
Eliminate the cost of establishing hundreds of individual connections. One archive, one transfer, done.
Faster Transfers
Single archive transfers are significantly faster than sending many small files individually, especially over high-latency connections.
Gzip Compression
Archives are compressed before transfer, reducing the total amount of data sent over the network.
Automatic Fallback
If archive transfer fails, the system automatically falls back to individual file transfer for maximum reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much faster are Turbo Deployments?
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.
