Hi! It’s just a question. I’m wondering if files from different domains are also being cached.
For example, I own example.com, so I added it to my account and contents inside (like example.com/orange.png) is being cached and served by CF (usual behaviour).
Now, let’s say, inside my index.html I’m also serving external content, like other-example.com/grape.png.
Will this “grape.png” be also cached and served from CF?
Thanks.
It won’t, unless of course that domain is on Cloudflare too.
After writing this comment I realized that resources are being individually requested by browser, so answer is not. However, how about if I set a cname to serve it? Like CNAME bla.example.com => other-example.com? More specific (it might not be the best example), I want Cloudfront to work together with Cloudflare. So, I can map with a CNAME (for example) f43f43f43.cloudfront.com to cdn.example.com. Then, URLs will be served like cdn.example.com/grape.png, that will be resolving to f43f43f43.cloudfront.com/grape.png, that will be resolving to example.com/grape.png, that will be served by Cloudflare cache. Is this mechanism possible?
If you point a record of your domain to that other server and that other server still answers under your domain, that would be part of your domain and hence cached.
Great, thanks!
