Worker Mode and Page Caching rules

  • I had a few questions:
    1. Which mode is the PREFERRED mode. Worker mode v/s conventional full page cache?
    2. If I am using the worker mode, should I remove the full page cache rule?
    3. If I am using the worker mode, will the website be also be cached on Edge servers?
    4. Does the preloader crawl the ENTIRE website or only a few pages.

    Thanks.

    Hi @amarudare,

    Which mode is the PREFERRED mode. Worker mode v/s conventional full page cache?

    – The Cache Everything page rule based mode is the default mode as it is 100% free. If you wish to enable the worker mode, you have to enable it within the plugin settings (Cache tab). The benefit of using worker mode over page rule mode is that there is no cache buster query string added for the logged in users. Also, you can bypass pages based on certain cookies (screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/qUMXKEb.png)
    Moreover if you an advanced user you have the ability to overwrite our default worker code and add your own login into the code (if needed). But Cloudflare Worker is not 100% free. You can check the pricing here: https://workers.cloudflare.com/#plans

    If I am using the worker mode, will the website be also be cached on Edge servers?

    – Of course. Worker mode will also cache your webpages at Cloudflare CDN edges but it uses our worker code instead of page rule.

    Does the preloader crawl the ENTIRE website or only a few pages.

    – Depends on how the preloader has been set up. If you have added all of your sitemap URLs then it will crawl all the URLs there in the sitemap.
