How Cloudflare Edge Caching Works

Cloudflare caches static assets (images, CSS, JavaScript, fonts) across 300+ global data centers. Visitors receive assets from the nearest edge node, minimizing latency and server load.

Recommended Settings

Caching Level: Standard
Browser Cache TTL: 4 Hours to 1 Day
Always Online: Enabled (serves cached pages during origin downtime)

Cache Rules for Dynamic Sites

Under Caching > Cache Rules, set Bypass rules for:

/wp-admin/ and /wp-login.php (administrative areas)
/cart/ and /checkout/ (WooCommerce dynamic checkout paths)

Purging Cache

After deploying code or style changes, navigate to Caching > Configuration and select Purge Everything to immediately invalidate stale assets across all global edge nodes.
