Cloudflare Cache
Cloudflare Cache is a global content delivery network (CDN) service that stores and serves cached copies of website content from edge servers worldwide. It reduces latency and improves load times by delivering content from the nearest server to users, while also offloading traffic from origin servers. The service includes features like cache purging, tiered caching, and integration with Cloudflare's broader security and performance suite.
Developers should use Cloudflare Cache when building websites or applications that require fast global content delivery, especially for static assets like images, CSS, and JavaScript files. It's ideal for reducing server load, improving user experience in geographically distributed audiences, and enhancing scalability for high-traffic sites. Specific use cases include e-commerce platforms, media streaming, and SaaS applications where performance is critical.
