Hello
Since multiple years, some competitors are supporting SWR (Stale While Revalidate) directive. Which allow to serve expired content to the user while the POP request fresh content for the next visitor to come.
Cloudflare, on its side still don't support it as confirmed by a CF employee (https://community.cloudflare.com/t/when-will-cloudflare-fully-support-stale-while-revalidate-with-asynchronous-background-revalidation/287764/9).
This feature was blocked by CF technical debt and announced support for Q3 2023, maybe early Q4 2023. (https://community.cloudflare.com/t/support-for-stale-while-revalidate/496788/16)
We're now Q1 2024 and still no news about it.
My team is working on a full rewriting how our application leverage the HTTP cache, and is now just discovering that they can't use this feature which would have allowed us to do something that could work very well.
As an entreprise customer, I really like to know when the feature is finally going to be supported please.
