what's the
RequestSource?
If that is earlyHintsor cacheApithis is perfectly fine - it just means cache miss
https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/advanced-configuration/early-hints/#emit-early-hintsThanks for the reply.
It's "earlyHintsCache"
So I can just ignore them?
yeah you can just ignore that
You may see an influx of 504 responses with the RequestSource of earlyHintsCache in Cloudflare Logs when Early Hints is enabled, which is expected and benign. Requests from earlyHintsCache are internal subrequests for cached Early Hints, and they are neither end user requests, nor do they go to your origin. Their response status only indicates whether there are cached Early Hints for the request URI (200 on cache HIT, 504 on cache MISS). These requests are already filtered out in other views, such as Cache Analytics. To filter out these requests or to filter requests by end users of your website only, please refer to Filter end users.We recommend just filtering those out
Thank god, I was having kittens!
