Manage Page Rules

You can manage Page Rules in the Medianova Panel or via API.

Log in to the Medianova Panel, select a CDN resource in the CDN section and navigate to the Page Rules tab.

Turn on Page Rules

By default, Page Rules is disabled. Click the Status toggle to turn on Page Rules.

The screen now shows a Create Page Rule button, enabling you to get started with your first page rule.

File Path and File Extension

Page Rules match on a combination of file path and file extension.

Directory is recursive (unless using the Exact Match setting), meaning /dir/ matches all URLs for files in the /dir/ directory and its subdirectories.

Wildcard is for example * to match on any URL path and /*/images/ matches URLs in any second-level images directory.

When using regex pattern, only the * . / () [] $ symbols are supported. You cannot use other symbols, including ? ! + ^.
