How Caching Works
Droplet provides managed edge caching for every application, reducing origin load and improving response times for users around the world.
Cache layers
- Edge cache — Droplet caches eligible responses close to your users
- Browser cache —
Cache-Controlheaders tell browsers how long to cache assets
What gets cached
By default, Droplet caches static assets (JS, CSS, images, fonts) based on the Cache-Control header returned by your application. Dynamic routes are not cached unless you explicitly configure cache rules.
Use Cache Rules in the Edge Cache settings to define custom caching behaviour per URL pattern.
