Today we’re going to learn how to prevent CloudFlare from caching a website’s information.
Step 1: Log in to your Cloudflare account
Log in to your Cloudflare account on the official website.
Step 2: Select the website
Select the website for which you want to configure page rules in the Cloudflare dashboard.
Step 3: Navigate to the “Page Rules” section
Once you’ve selected the website, navigate to the “Page Rules” section in the control panel. This will take you to the page where you can manage page rules for your site.
Step 4: Create a new page rule
Click the “Create Page Rule” button to start creating a new page rule.
Step 5: Define the URL pattern
In the “URL pattern” field, enter the URL pattern to which you want to apply the rule. For example, you can enter https://www.yourdomain.com/* to apply the rule to all URLs on your domain. The asterisk (*) is a wildcard that matches any URL on your domain.
Step 6: Configure the cache rule
Click the “Add a Setting” button and select “Cache Level” from the dropdown menu.
Step 7: Select “Bypass”
In the “Cache Level” option, select “Bypass”. This will instruct Cloudflare not to cache responses for URLs that match the specified pattern.
Step 8: Save the page rule
Click the “Save and Deploy” button to save the page rule and apply it to your website.
Step9: Verify the configuration
Once the page rule is saved, verify that it is active and applying correctly. You can try accessing some URLs on your website and check if Cloudflare’s cache is disabled for those URLs.
Step 10: Adjust as needed
If you need to adjust the cache settings for other URLs or modify existing page rules, you can do so by following the same steps above.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to set up page rules in Cloudflare to control caching and ensure that your website’s responses are handled according to your specific needs. This will allow you to have greater control over caching and ensure that users always receive the most up-to-date version of your content.
