Frequently Asked Questions
What is Application Accelerator?
Application Accelerator is an Applications module that speeds up web applications and APIs through protocol optimizations and helps manage dynamic content requirements.
What is Advanced Cache Key?
Advanced Cache Key lets you control how content is segmented in cache beyond the URL path, using cache variation rules based on query strings and cookies.
Can I vary cached content by query string fields?
Yes. You can configure cache variation by specific query string fields to control which parameters differentiate cached objects and which are ignored.
Can I vary cached content by cookies?
Yes. You can configure cache variation by specific cookie names, which is useful for session-based or personalized content.
How do I apply these cache settings in production?
You create cache settings and then activate them with Rules Engine rules in Applications, using request or response phase logic to decide when a cache policy should apply.
Can I set cache TTL under 60 seconds?
Yes. With Application Accelerator enabled, you can customize cache TTL values under 60 seconds, including a minimum TTL of 0 seconds when required.
Can I cache POST or OPTIONS requests?
Yes. Application Accelerator can enable caching for POST and OPTIONS requests. When enabled, the request body becomes part of the cache key so different payloads are cached separately.
Can I honor Cache-Control and Expires headers from my origin?
Yes. Cache settings in Applications can honor origin cache headers (Cache-Control and Expires) or override them with explicit TTL values depending on your policy.
What are the default TTL limits?
The default minimum cache TTL is 0 seconds and the default maximum cache TTL is 31,536,000 seconds.
Does enabling Application Accelerator affect costs?
Some advanced cache features require Application Accelerator to be active, and data transfer may generate usage-related costs depending on how you configure and use the module.
