How to Prefetch

Perform Prefetch operations through the Control Panel or API to proactively cache files and deliver them instantly to end-users.

Prefetch selected files for a CDN Resource so they can be prepared in cache before normal user requests.

You can perform Prefetch operations from the Medianova Control Panel or via the Prefetch API.

Prefetch Files

1

Open Prefetch

Open the CDN Resource and select Prefetch.

The Prefetch files section provides the path field used to specify the content you want to prefetch.

2

Enter the Paths

Enter the paths of the files you want to prefetch.

Each path must:

• Start with /.

• Exclude the domain.

• Contain no spaces.

For example:

/myimages/subfolder/image.png

To prefetch multiple paths, enter one path per line or separate the paths with commas.

3

Prefetch the Files

Click Prefetch files to submit the Prefetch operation.

The CDN processes the specified paths and prepares eligible content for cached delivery according to the CDN Resource's caching configuration.

Check Prefetch Results

The Recent section lists Prefetch operations for the selected CDN Resource and shows the result of each submitted path.

Click Refresh to retrieve the latest Prefetch results.

Prefetch is intended for cacheable content. The CDN Resource's existing caching configuration continues to determine how the prefetched content is cached and delivered.
