Introducing Cache Response Rules
Cloudflare, Thursday, July 23rd, 2026
Cloudflare launches Cache Response Rules to modify caching behavior based on origin responses without code changes.
Cloudflare introduced Cache Response Rules, which operate after origin servers respond but before content enters Cloudflare's cache.
The capability lets users modify cache-control directives, manage cache tags, and strip problematic headers like Set-Cookie and ETag without changing origin code.
It addresses common caching inefficiencies caused by misconfigured response headers that prevent static assets from being cached, ultimately improving cache hit ratios and reducing infrastructure costs.
