Hi,
Yours page says:
We crawl sites based on the Cloudflare pricing plan for the domain.
this means that if we post daily updates to the blog the new blog entries will only be accessible to visitors vie your servers after 6 days of being posted on our website??
Hey, I answered the same question on the other thread, here it is:
https://community.cloudflare.com/t/1000-to-5000-simultaneous-users/213276/18?u=skander
thanks so the Pro plan can have a fully functioning site which will always be online even if our server goes down?
You can use CF Page rules to set Edge Cache TTL
CF CDN cache minimum cache time (Edge Cache TTL) is different from Browser Cache minimum time which is 30 minutes for various Cloudflare plans for https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/218411427#summary-of-page-rules-settings
thanks…

That is for additional services (can’t see it on mobile, but I believe it’s for Always Online). The update, if the actual website is up and running, will be instant, provided the headers are correct or after the cache expires.
so the websites are constantly monitored for changes?
Yeah, it’s a reverse proxy.
Thank you for your kind answer Eva - can you please confirm Cloudflare is constantly updating its cache in real time? we will be constantly uploading new posts each day - we cannot wait for them to be crawled 6 days after they were posted - as the crawl frequency is set at 6 days for the pro plan
The 14/6/2 day updates are about Always Online, which are cached copies for when your server goes down. It has absolutely nothing to do with regular caching / CDN behavior.
You can set your cache expiry headers to the desired values (edit: see eva’s reply below). This is only relevant if you set it to “cache everything” through a pagerule.
Cloudflare doesn’t “crawl” your website, it’s a reverse proxy.
I would suggest reading the documentation carefully and/or getting someone to handle the onboarding for you to avoid any issues if you’re not familiar.
Actually CF CDN cache minimum cache time (Edge Cache TTL) is different from Browser Cache minimum time which is 30 minutes for various Cloudflare plans for https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/218411427#summary-of-page-rules-settings
