Query String Caching

The Query String Caching feature in the Medianova Cloud Panel provides enhanced control over how query strings are cached by the CDN. When enabled, the CDN caches each query string separately, allowing you to fine-tune caching behavior for different variations of the same URL based on query string parameters.

Key Features

• Enable Query String Caching: When Query String Caching is enabled, every query string variation of a URL will be cached separately. This ensures that resources with different query strings are treated as distinct cached items, allowing for more precise control over caching.

• Ignore Specific Query Strings: When this option is enabled, you can specify query strings that you don’t want to cache separately. These query strings will be ignored in the caching process, and the CDN will treat requests with these query strings as if they don't exist.

  • How It Works:

    • After enabling this option, a field will appear where you can enter the specific query strings you wish to ignore.

    • You can add multiple query strings by clicking the + button.

    • Once set, requests with the specified query strings will not result in separate cached versions.

• Cache Specific Query Strings Only: When enabled, you can specify a list of query strings that should be cached separately. Only requests with these specific query strings will create distinct cached versions.

  • How It Works:

    • After enabling this option, a field will appear where you can enter the query strings you want to cache separately.

    • You can add multiple query strings by clicking the + button.

    • Once set, only requests with these query strings will be cached separately, while others will be treated as the same resource.

Important Note:

• Mutual Exclusivity: Both the Ignore Specific Query Strings and Cache Specific Query Strings Only options cannot be enabled at the same time. Only one of these options can be active at any given time.

How to Configure Query String Caching

1. Click on the CDN Resources section in the left-hand menu of the Cloud panel.

2. Select the relevant resource.

3. Click on the Caching tab.

4. Navigate to the Query String Caching section in the Medianova Cloud Panel.

1. Choose Caching option.

   1. Ignore Specific Query Strings: Enable this option if you want to ignore specific query strings and not cache them separately. Enter the query strings you want to ignore in the provided field. Click the + button to add multiple query strings.

   2. Cache Specific Query Strings Only: Enable this option if you want to cache only specific query strings separately. Enter the query strings you want to cache separately in the provided field. Click the + button to add multiple query strings.

2. After configuring the query string caching settings, click Submit to apply the changes.

By configuring the Query String Caching settings, you gain granular control over how query string variations of your resources are cached, optimizing caching strategies based on your specific needs.
