Edge Caching Setup Basics

Cache content closer to users

This guide covers enabling a CDN, setting cache-control and ETag headers, choosing TTLs by content type, and purging or versioning assets for safe updates.

Classify content

Separate static assets, APIs, and HTML; apply distinct caching rules.

Set headers

Use cache-control with max-age and immutable for versioned assets; add ETags or last-modified.

Purge safely

Purge by path or use versioned filenames to avoid stale content issues.

Monitor and tune

Track hit ratios and latency; adjust TTLs and rules based on real traffic.
