Caching recommendations for Acquia Edge
Acquia recommends the following defaults for page caching rules in Edge CDN:
Edge Cache TTL (Time To Live): 1 minute
Browser Cache TTL: set to
Respect Existing Headers
You should also configure Page Cache Maximum Age (the amount of time Varnish® and Drupal take to cache your assets) to your desired value—typically 30 minutes to one day. Edge CDN will contact Varnish once per minute for updated copies of an asset.
For more information on caching with Acquia Edge, see Caching recommendations for Acquia Edge.
Note
The cache size limit is 2 GB per file. You can increase the size to 20 GB for an extra cost per gigabyte. Contact your Account Manager for more information.
Updating cached content before expiration
If your content or assets change at origin in your Drupal website, and you must update the cached copies of the assets before the Page Cache Maximum Age expiration date, Acquia recommends you use the Acquia Purge module.
After you configure the Acquia Purge module, content updates will purge selected portions of Varnish cache. The next time Edge CDN requests the asset from Varnish, Edge CDN will receive the newly-updated content.
Important
Due to API limitations preventing website visitors from viewing updates to content, Acquia does not recommend using the CloudFlare Purge (cfpurge) module.
Logs and log sharing
Acquia Edge provides subscribers with access to web log data on a per-domain basis. You can forward the web logs for aggregation and analysis using Enterprise Log Sharing.
Acquia Edge retains audit logs for 18 months and access logs for three days. You may access the logs using the Cloudflare API.
