The Edge Cache Expiration setting in the Medianova Cloud Panel for dynamic content allows you to control how long dynamically generated content is cached on the CDN edge servers before it expires. This setting helps to strike a balance between performance and freshness, ensuring that dynamic content is served quickly from the edge servers while still allowing for real-time updates from the origin server when needed.
Cache Type: For dynamic content, the cache type ensures that content is cached at the edge servers but can be dynamically retrieved from the origin server as necessary. This ensures that frequently accessed dynamic resources are delivered quickly, while also ensuring the content remains up-to-date when needed.
Cache Time Configuration: Define the expiration time for dynamic content cached on the edge servers. You can set specific expiration times based on the nature of the dynamic content, ensuring that data is refreshed based on its update frequency. When both edge and origin cache settings are used, the system will prompt you to define cache expiration for each to optimize delivery.
By adjusting the Edge Cache Expiration for dynamic content, you can enhance performance by serving cached content quickly while ensuring that any real-time or user-specific data is always up-to-date. This is especially useful for content that changes frequently, such as user profiles, real-time data, or personalized resources.
