Optimize caching
The more content is cached, the fewer requests go back to your origin server (whether due to legitimate or illegitimate traffic).
A few ways to optimize Cloudflare caching include:
- Creating cache rules to customize the cache properties of specific HTTP requests.
 - Enabling the Tiered Cache feature, which dramatically increases cache hit ratios.
 - Reviewing our other various configuration options, which may vary based on your plan and application setup.
