Cloudflare Cache Bypass Rules
1. **Log into your Cloudflare Account:**
Go to the Cloudflare website and log in with your credentials.
2. **Select Your Domain:**
Choose the domain for which you want to create the cache rules.
3. **Go to the Caching Section:**
In the Cloudflare dashboard, navigate to the **Caching** tab.
4. **Create a New Page Rule:**
– Scroll down to the **Page Rules** section.
– Click on **Create Page Rule**.
5. **Configure the Page Rule:**
– **URL Pattern:** Enter the URL pattern you want to apply the rule to (e.g., `*yourdomain.com/*` to apply to all pages or a specific path).
– **Settings:**
– Choose **Cache Level** and set it to **Bypass**.
– You can add additional settings if needed, such as **Edge Cache TTL** to specify how long the cache should be held at the edge servers. However, if you want to bypass the cache, the Edge Cache TTL can be set to **0**.
6. **Set the Order of the Rules:**
– If you have multiple rules, ensure that this rule is prioritized appropriately. The first matching rule takes effect.
7. **Save and Deploy:**
– Click **Save and Deploy** to activate your new page rule.
8. **Test the Configuration:**
– After creating the rule, test it by accessing the relevant URL to ensure that it bypasses the cache as expected.
### Note:
– To enforce a cache bypass for content that changes frequently (more than 3 hours), you can also set the **Browser Cache TTL** and **Edge Cache TTL** appropriately in the **Caching** section to control how long content is cached at different levels.
– You can create multiple page rules if you have different caching needs for various URLs or patterns.
If you have any specific URLs or conditions you'd like to set up, let me know, and I can help you refine the rules further!
