Define caching, redirection, and optimization behaviors for specific URLs to control how Medianova CDN delivers your content.
Page Rules for Dynamic Content Acceleration operate the same way as in Static Content Delivery. They allow you to apply rule-based caching and optimization logic for specific URL paths and file extensions. This enables fine-grained control over performance behavior for dynamic applications, APIs and mixed static–dynamic workloads.
Use Page Rules when you need to override the default caching logic, apply custom TTLs, control headers, or modify delivery behavior for selected routes.
For full configuration steps and available rule types, refer to the main Page Rules documentation:

Dynamic Content Acceleration accounts include an additional setting under Page Rules: Dynamic Page Cache.
This setting controls whether HTML, JSON and other dynamic text-based responses can be cached using the TTL defined in a Page Rule.
Enable this option if your application can safely serve cached HTML/JSON responses for the specified duration — for example:
Landing pages with infrequent updates
API responses that are cache-friendly
Server-rendered pages that do not change per user
Leave it disabled for:
Personalized pages
User-specific HTML
Sensitive JSON or rapidly changing dynamic data
Dynamic Content Acceleration supports the same rule components as Static Content Delivery:
File Path Match (directory, wildcard, regex)
File Extensions
Cache Type and TTL
Header settings
All rule logic is evaluated in the same manner as Static Content Delivery.
Scenario:
A customer wants to cache HTML responses under /blog/ for 30 seconds but does not want to cache dashboard or personalized pages.
Configuration:
File Path: /blog/
File Extension: html
Cache Type: Edge
Edge Cache Time: 30s
Result:
HTML pages under /blog/ are cached for 30 seconds. Other dynamic pages remain uncached.
Page Rules override the global Caching tab for matching requests.
Dynamic Page Cache applies only if the rule includes a TTL.
When disabled, dynamic responses always result in an origin fetch.
Behavior is identical across Small, Large and Dynamic Resources, except the Dynamic Page Cache setting, which is exclusive to Dynamic Content Acceleration.
Redirect and security settings
Dynamic Page Cache: On
Off (false)
The Page Rule TTL applies only to static file types (e.g., images, CSS, JS). Dynamic content such as HTML and JSON is never cached, even if a TTL is configured.
On (true)
The CDN caches HTML, JSON and similar dynamic responses for the TTL defined in the Page Rule. Static files continue to be cached as usual.
