There are always a chance that things, such as e.g. images, will be evicted from the cache before the max-age has elapsed, such as for example due to inactivity.

I wouldn't personally be expecting to be able to keep an image in cache for a full year, with only one single request to the origin during (the start of) that full year, no matter if we're talking about Cloudflare or any other CDN providers out there.

not only can it evict it at any time, but cache by default is colo (CF Datacenter) specific, and with so many locations you're bound to have a handful of miss's. You can enable Tiered Caching to try to reduce that (the free version selects a colo closest to your origin to check for cache if not in colo, before contacting origin), or Cache Reserve (paid, might be slower then your origin in some cases, it's backed by R2 in a single location)

I have an original image in R2, an api endpoint return a processed version of the image, should I rely on cache for serving that processed image?

Chaika

C

Chaika•8/22/23, 2:55 PM

You have a worker doing it, I assume?
If each image variant is reused a lot, it would make sense to push it back to R2 and serve it from there
If you do very dynamic resizing, the extra storage costs might not make sense

the variant is pre-determined and doesn't change over time much.

Chaika

C

Chaika•8/22/23, 2:57 PM

Then depending on exactly what you're doing, it might make sense to do it even ahead of time and store the few different variants in R2, and serve the image direct. If you can do it via an R2 Custom Domain (not through a worker), you'd be saving on Worker Invocation costs as well, and benefit from cache still

Also worth noting neither the Cache API, or R2 Custom Domains, can use Tiered Caching or Cache Reserve, you're restricted to just normal cache for both

If it's a page on a site proxied by Cloudflare, it depends on default cache behavior: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/concepts/default-cache-behavior/ (or if you overrride it to cache everything with a cache/page rule). If it's some other site you're fetching frorm your proxied site, no

Chaika•8/22/23, 7:35 PM

I don't understand how the browser fetching it comes into that, but regardless those are usually fruitless endeavors because cache is per colo (and there's some 300+), it'll just cache itself on next request. Unless your origin server is really slow, not worth it to try to force it to cache right away

zones is weird, I actually think websites is fine

domains works better for registrar tbh

Hello, I’m Allie!

Hello, I’m Allie!•8/22/23, 8:09 PM

I think it is just about the distinction. For example, not all Websites on Cloudflare are Zones(Pages, workers.dev, etc.). And a Zone can be a subdomain, not just a domain.

Hello, I’m Allie!

H

Hello, I’m Allie!•8/22/23, 8:10 PM

And calling them DNS Zones may make you think they only handle DNS, while they also run Cache, WAF, Workers, etc.

Chaika•8/22/23, 8:53 PM

make sure to fill out feedback survey eitherway, imo zones makes more sense because how flexible zones are these days. Also internally they've always been zones, through API, and sometimes in docs. It's also just more clear when helping someone to say "navigate to your zone" vs "navigate to your cf website", and with the fact that you can use CF for SaaS to route multiple websites through your website, and the other reasons HardAtWork mentioned

They will only get imported if you run the import command from them.
