CDN Invalidation Basics

Clear cached content

CDN invalidation removes or refreshes cached objects using purge requests, cache keys, short TTLs, or asset versioning to control freshness.

Purge Smart

Purge changed objects or use paths/prefixes; avoid full wipes.

Version Assets

Use fingerprinted filenames for static assets to avoid purges.

Set TTLs

Balance freshness and performance with sensible TTLs and stale-while-revalidate.
