Overview
Cache Freshness is the amount of time we wait before recaching a page. If you set it to one day, we will recache each URL every 24 hours. Whether your site updates hourly or monthly, cache expiration helps you stay in control. It’s a simple way to balance performance and fresh content
How to set the Cache Expiration
Configure in the Dashboard
- Log in to your Prerender account.
- Navigate to the Cache Manager menu.
- Click on Cache Settings.
- Use the slider to set your desired cache expiration time. The options typically range from 6 hours to 30 days. Each subscription plan has a specific interval at which you can set the cache expiration.
- Shorter durations (e.g., 6 hours, 12 hours or 1 day) are great for pages with frequent updates.
- Longer durations (e.g., 7, 14 or 30 days) work well for static content.
- Once you've selected your cache expiration, click Apply to save your changes. Note: If your plan restricts certain cache durations, consider upgrading.
Tips and Additional Information
- Cache Expiration is a global setting that takes effect on all URLs in the cache.
- If you change the cache expiration setting, it will be applied after the next recaching of the urls.
