Pull Zone Settings

When managing a Pull Zone, there’s a tab called “Settings“, in this tab, there are some extra options which can be utilized to get the best out of your Pull Zone.
Pull Zone Settings

Set Default Cache Time

This option is meat to set a default expiry time/TTL in case the origin does not have one.

Override Cache-Control Header

Should you require a longer TTL or to override the one set on the origin, this is the option for you.

GZip Compression

In rare cases when GZip is not enabled on the origin, this option needs to be enabled at all times, unless for some reason you require GZip to be off.

Query String

When enabled, this option will treat each file with Query Strings (file.css?v=183791028301) as a separate cache-able file.

Content Disposition

Using Content Disposition will set the Content-Disposition header for every file in this zone. This will force all files to behave as if the end-user chose the saveas dialog.

Strip All Cookies

This option is extremely useful as it tells the CDN to ignore all cookies (i.e: session cookies set by CloudFlare).

Pseudo Streaming:

This option needs to be enabled if you want to serve some media files (FLV and Mp4 ONLY with h.264 encoding) via your Pull Zone. Please note that:

  • This should never be used for files over 100MB
  • Seeking might not work
  • The first request to a non-cached big-size media file will be very slow as it is being cached
  • You should always consult our support  before using this option

Use Stale

Serve expired content while retrieving updated content or when the content is no longer reachable on the origin. In other words, cached files on the CDN will never expire or get purged. Use with extreme caution.

Ignore Cache Control:

Ignore any TTL/Expiry header set on the origin and use the settings in the “Cache Settings“ tab. Note that this option needs to be enabled and used in conjunction with the settings in the “Cache Settings” tab.
