Browser Cache TTL
Feature Introduction
The Client browser cache TTL is the cache duration of resources in the browser, which by default follows the origin's
Cache-Control headers. You can control the cache duration of resources in the browser by configuring EdgeOne's browser cache TTL without modifying the origin configuration. EdgeOne implements browser cache TTL by setting the
Cache-Control response headers when responding to clients. The following configurations are supported:Follow Origin: Follow the origin's Cache-Control; if the origin does not have Cache-Control, no changes will be made;
No Cache: Regardless of whether the origin carries Cache-Control, the browser will be controlled not to cache files;
Custom Time: Regardless of whether the origin carries Cache-Control, the max-age will be modified to the specified cache time.
You can control the cache duration of resources in the browser by adjusting the browser cache TTL, optimizing the cache strategy for different resources, and improving the loading speed of requested resources.
