Gain better insights into edge caching behavior on Netlify

What's this blog post about?

Netlify has made significant improvements to its edge caching features, enhancing the platform's ability to create dynamic digital experiences. New additions include fine-grained cache control headers, Cache Tag support for selective content invalidation, and Netlify-Vary for caching dynamic content based on request variations. Additionally, a new HTTP response header called 'Cache-Status' offers insights into the caching process. This information can be used in conjunction with synthetic tests and Real User Monitoring (RUM) to better understand site performance and cache status.
