CDN Cache Purge

[Jon_King]

I use Cloudflair CDN, with this or any CDN is it a good idea to purge the cache after changes? I use the developer mode to see immediate changes so my machine has the correct files when I browse the site... but I suspect the old files are delivered to others when the dev mode is off. Seems a purge is necessary after changes?

Yup, It's a good idea to purge it, so returning visitors will get the new changes. I'd say it's good for you too but you already use developer mode.

I would think that a CDN would update after development mode timing ran out. Is this the case?

Do a search [ cloudfair update cache ] and the results should answer your questions. I don't use cloudfair but they appear to have a decent documentation.

An important note to keep in mind is that if you do a full cache purge the site may slow considerably (traffic/connection dependent) until the cache is fully reformulated.

While utilizing the Content Delivery Network (CDN) with Cloud Files, your documents are disseminated over a worldwide system of edge servers expanding the rate at which your gathering of people can download records from your website. This is proficient by the CDN consequently reserving your documents to an edge server after the first occasion when it is asked for from a given geographic locale. Those records will remain stored on the edge server until such a period as the Time To Live (TTL) setting for an individual document terminates, or until an edge cleanse solicitation is sent to the hub.
In the event that you are sending cleanses each time your site guests upgrade their profile, pictures, or other data, then you will probably be more content utilizing a TTL setting to control when your substance lapses and is expelled from the edge servers' reserve. The normal cleanse demand takes around 20 minutes to prepare, and now and again hours, contingent upon action levels. Your TTL can be set as low as 15 minutes. Try it out, and we wager your site guests will see better execution from their redesigns. As a dependable guideline, attempt different plans first. In the event that you can settle your requirements by utilizing a low TTL or forming your items, these are incredible first alternatives. Obviously, edge cleanse is constantly accessible if all else fails.

I just started using Cloudflare. I'm also using WP Supercache. My site is small, and I think the code is simple. I always resize my images in an editor before uploading them to my site. As far as I can tell, I'm doing everything right, yet I STILL score a measly 67/100 on the Google Page Speed test.

My score is lower than any other URL I plug into the speed test page. Anyone know what gives?

Anyone know what gives?

That's unrelated to cache purging, perhaps you should start a new thread.

Besides, the Pagespeed test tells you "what gives", doesn't it? With a 67/100 score, there should be plenty suggestions.
