Purge Cache with Wildcard

[M4rt1n]

Reffering to: LINK1, LINK2, LINK3, LINK4

The Feature to “the option to purg with wildcars” are highly needed.

For example:

1. Purging the Cache for just one subdomain:
   https://sub.domain.tld/*

2. Purging the Cache for specific folders:
   https://sub.domain.tld/folder/*

3. Purging the Cache for specifiy File-Extensions:
   *jp*g (will purge .jpg and .jpeg)

4. Purging the Cache for PHP Files:
   *.php*
   or
   https://www.domain.tld/dynamic/*.php*

I hope some more will join this Feature Request as I see no reason for why this should not be implemented.

Also if someone from CloudFlare is replying, pls do not just say “its not supported”. We know that, thats why we are requesting this feature.

[eldhose]

Surely upvote this feature on every plan.

[rami.zebian]

I up-vote too. The closest solution in the meantime is using “Purge by Cache-Tag” but this feature is only available for the Enterprise Plan. A pleasant approach too would be unlocking this feature for Pro Plan and above.

[hiyehoc308]

Thats a lot of links there. hope they see. Me too upvote…

what i need to achive

About cache my php page

i cache php page used cahe everything rule. https://example.com/*/*.php and when user visit the same page with multiple different string attached. https://example.com/*/*.php?query=1 , https://example.com/*/*.php?query=2 , https://example.com/*/*.php?diffrentquery=example, i see so many misses, and request pass to ma server. but i want to show the same data for every user by ignoring these. But i don’t want remove those from the url.

About cache my php page

What i needed. This will ensure every request with same url but different query parameters will shown the same cached php page. So i can reduce the load on the server. [Capture] Note this also:

[yibir41785]

Thanks for linking to my request about purging with wildcards. Atleast cloudflare team should see these POSTS. I would like to purge by directory if it was possible.

@yibir41785

I would like to purge by directory

yeah also about cacheing php pages and ignoring query strings. I don’t need to use the cache tags at all.

[yibir41785]

mhmm. ignoring strings for php pages seems good, but need careful to implement it.

[eldhose]

yeah need to implemented carefully. but it will sure reduce the load on the origin server.

[hiyehoc308]

[eldhose]

hope they bring this feature. cache dynamic pages and ignore query strings along.

[rami.zebian]

To avoid cache escape on query parameters, you can create a page rule to forward a URL with temporary 302 redirect. For example:

Redirect:
domain.tld/page?*

To:
domain.tld/page

[unless you are using parameters for that page]

[eldhose]

No no, thats not i wanted to redirect users. But to show same cached resource for query parameters same as URL. This is a Product Request. Also Purging the cache by directory is a great thing.
