There’s Always Cache in the Banana Stand
Cloudflare now supports all HTTP Cache-Control response directives, providing powerful control for origin server administrators worldwide. The company's Content Distribution Network (CDN) uses over 119 data centers globally to cache customers' web content and serve it to nearby visitors faster and more securely. CDNs store content closer to users, improving speed and reliability. Cache-Control headers allow servers to give explicit instructions on how edge caches should handle content. Cloudflare's strong support for these directives ensures that stale or incorrect content is not served from its edge cache.
