Cache Rules

Use Cache Rules to customize cache settings on Cloudflare. Cache Rules allows you to make adjustments to what is eligible to cache, how long it should be cached and where, as well as trigger specific interactions with Cloudflare’s cache and other Rules products for matching requests.

Cache Rules can be created in the dashboard, via API or Terraform.

Rules templates

Cloudflare provides you with rules templates for common use cases. In the dashboard, go to your zone > Rules > Templates and select one of the available templates. You can also refer to the Examples gallery in the developer docs.
