Hi guys,
We have Pro plan for our community site where users can post short audio and videos as well as photos.
I’m wondering whether Cloudflare caches mp3/mp4 files on Pro plan?
And if these files are not automatically cached, how can I add them to my caching? Is there any bandwidth limit/quota/conditions for that?
Thanks in advance for your help.
They are included in the default cache extensions
It’s against the ToS
The Services are offered primarily as a platform to cache and serve web pages and websites. Unless explicitly included as part of a Paid Service purchased by you, you agree to use the Services solely for the purpose of (i) serving web pages as viewed through a web browser or other functionally equivalent applications, including rendering Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or other functional equivalents, and (ii) serving web APIs subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.8. Use of the Services for serving video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other non-HTML content is prohibited, unless purchased separately as part of a Paid Service or expressly allowed under our Supplemental Terms for a specific Service. If we determine you have breached this Section 2.8, we may immediately suspend or restrict your use of the Services, or limit End User access to certain of your resources through the Services.
Well this is about self serve. Our site is served outside Cloudflare.
That refers to how you purchase Cloudflare. Pro and Business subscriptions sold be considered self serve, unlike an Enterprise agreement with custom terms.
Right, but you asked about caching on the Cloudflare CDN, ergo the terms of service are applicable to question you posed. If the media files are stored on Cloudflare R2, different terms would apply
