CDN Setup Guide

Set up a content delivery network to serve your content from edge locations worldwide. Reduce latency, offload origin traffic, and improve the user experience for global audiences.

Usage

Ask about choosing a CDN provider, configuring cache rules, or optimizing your CDN setup for your content type.

Examples

• "How do I set up Cloudflare as a CDN for my application?"
• "What cache headers should I set for different content types?"
• "How do I purge CDN cache after a deployment?"

Guidelines

• Set long cache durations for static assets with content-hash filenames
• Use short or no cache for dynamic content and HTML pages
• Configure cache purge in your deployment pipeline for immediate updates
• Set up custom error pages at the CDN level for a better user experience
• Monitor CDN cache hit ratios to ensure effective caching
