Hello everyone, I have a question and hope you can clarify it for me. On Cloudflare, there’s a fantastic statistic that shows how much of the entire site is cached. In my case, it’s around 98%-99%.
What I’m wondering is what happens when I clear the entire cache, and how this is influenced by the Always Online mode I have enabled.
If I’ve understood correctly, when a user requests a resource, the cached version is always provided (thanks to Always Online). But as soon as Cloudflare realises (at the same time as the request) that the resource has been updated or changed, it retrieves it from the origin server and serves it to the user. Is that correct?
I’m asking because even though I’ve cleared the entire cache before, the percentage of cached files remains roughly the same. For example, I don’t see it drop from 98% to 0% and then gradually refill. Hence my question.
Thanks to anyone who can provide insight!
