Edge Caching Basics

Speed via the edge

Edge caching stores assets at CDN PoPs, using cache keys, TTLs, and invalidation/purge rules to speed delivery and lower origin load.

Configure Keys

Include only needed headers/query in cache keys; normalize.

Set TTLs

Choose TTLs per asset type; use stale-while-revalidate if available.

Purge

Purge on deploys or use versioned asset filenames.
