Browser Cache TTL
Browser Cache TTL refers to the duration that a client browser caches resources locally. By configuring this parameter, you can control how long the browser uses its local cache before sending a new request, effectively improving page load speed and reducing bandwidth consumption.
Configuration Options
Browser Cache TTL supports the following three configuration modes:
| Mode | Description | Recommended Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Follow origin Cache-Control | Browser respects the Cache-Control headers returned by the origin server as the cache duration. | Suitable for businesses where the origin has fine-grained cache control configured. |
| No Caching | Browser does not cache the resource; every request fetches the resource anew. | Suitable for frequently updated or real-time content requiring fresh data. |
| Custom TTL | Forces a fixed cache duration (e.g., 300 seconds, 7 days), overriding the origin’s cache settings. | Suitable when the origin does not specify cache policies but unified management is required. |
How to Configure
Log in to the Security CDN Console.
In the left sidebar, navigate to Speed & Cache > Acceleration.
On the Global Acceleration Policy page, scroll down and locate the Browser Cache TTL module under Cache Management.
The system default is Follow origin Cache-Control.
Click the Edit Settings button to open the Browser Cache TTL configuration window.
