Caching

These features are designed to customize when and how content is cached.

Complete Cache Fill Determines what happens when a request results in a partial cache miss on an edge server.
Compress File Types Defines the file formats that get compressed on the server.

Force Internal Max-Age Determines the max-age interval for edge server to origin server cache revalidation.
H.264 Support (HTTP Progressive Download) Determines the types of H.264 file formats that might be used to stream content.

Ignore Unsatisfiable Ranges Determines the response that is returned to clients when a request generates a 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable status code.
Internal Max-Stale Controls how long past the normal expiration time a cached asset might be served from an edge server when the edge server is unable to revalidate the cached asset with the origin server.
Partial Cache Sharing Determines whether a request can generate partially cached content.
Prevalidate Cached Content Determines whether cached content is eligible for early revalidation before its time to live (TTL) expires.
Refresh Zero-Byte Cache Files Determines how an HTTP client's request for a 0-byte cache asset gets handled by our edge servers.
Set Cacheable Status Codes Defines the set of status codes that can result in cached content.
Stale Content Delivery on Error Determines whether expired cached content is delivered when an error occurs during cache revalidation or when retrieving the requested content from the customer origin server.
Stale While Revalidate Improves performance by allowing our edge servers to serve stale client to the requester while revalidation takes place.
