Dear users,
I want to pre-catch some files fro my origin, so when the users begin to download them, the files are already catched.
Example: a mp4 file will be available for download in an hour. I want to send it to Cloudflare cache so when the file will be published, it is already catched and my origin won’t be overloaded by many downloads.
Is there a way? In control panel o via api that’s fine with me.
Thanks
I think you should ask the support about your use case
see this for example https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017801091
You can’t push any file to the edges. They will be pulled and cached as soon as as they are freqeuently accessed - per edge. Files frequently accessed from UK, aren’t cached in the US automatically.
Regarding the mp4 I’d follow @boynet2 's suggestion.
I’m not interested to streaming services, at the moment.
I’ve done an example with a mp4 file, but the files can be zip, rar, mkv, etc…
Help!
You’ll need to set a page rule for “cache everything” to cache those file extensions.
Yes, I’ve altrady set up the page rules. I wanted a pre-catch, but I saw it isn’t possible.
About the stream, in the near future I’m developing it.
Thanks
