Summary

Cloudflare has announced that they are making all purge methods available to all customers, regardless of plan type. This includes methods such as purge by URL, purge by hostname, purge by tag, purge by prefix, and purge everything. The company has spent two years rebuilding its purge pipeline with a focus on increasing throughput while maintaining near-instant invalidation across its global network. The new Instant Purge system allows for consistent, rapid propagation of purge requests across the vast network, reducing storage requirements by 10x. Cloudflare supports multiple targeted purge methods to help customers achieve a balance between precision and speed, and has raised the default purge rate limits for Enterprise customers.
