Summary
Cloudflare introduced Cache Response Rules to address issues where unwanted headers like Set-Cookie or Cache-Control cause content to bypass cache and hit the origin server. This feature allows more precise control over caching behavior without needing to change origin headers.
AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
What happened
Perhaps you’ve seen something that should sail out of cache get dragged back to the origin by a stray Set-Cookie or Cache-Control, headers that can be difficult to change on the origin itself. Cache Response Rules is the fix, applied at the right time.
Why it matters
Cache Response Rules help optimize content delivery by preventing unnecessary origin requests, improving performance and reducing server load. This is particularly useful when origin headers are difficult to modify directly.
