Improve Cloudflare's caching
XhmikosR opened this issue · comments
Right now we don't make full use of Cloudflare's caching. HTML files are not cached by default.
We should look into these:
- Cache everything; it should be fine since the code does not change frequently and we can always purge the cache when we release a new version. The default cache is 4 hours but we can change it to something else
- Maybe look into ignoring the query strings and cache the file the same? Query strings do not affect the served HTML, only the GitHub API request
I plan to look into the above one thing at a time, in case we break something.
I added a Page Rule which caches github-btn.html regardless of the queries. Currently set browser cache TTL to 30 minutes.
I'll be monitoring things. If anyone notices any issues let me know.
After this change is done, I will look into adding Edge Cache TTL 2 hours after a few days.
I'm going to close this. After the recent changes I made, we get a cache ratio of ~92% which is a pretty big improvement compared to 0.4% 🙂
