Edge Caching saves your Sevalla site/page cache (which is only saved to your site’s data center) to any of Cloudflare’s global network of 260+ data centers. When your visitors load your application in their browser, cached responses will be delivered from the location closest to them, increasing the performance and speed of your application. Edge Caching serves your Sevalla site/page cache but does not serve static assets like images, JavaScript files, and CSS files. Sevalla’s CDN, which is independent of Edge Caching, can be enabled to serve your static assets. If Sevalla CDN is enabled, your site has an additional caching layer managed separately from Edge Caching. When you clear the Edge Cache for applications, this also clears the CDN cache. Edge Caching is not enabled by default on Application Hosting. The application’s Overview page shows if Edge Caching is enabled or disabled.
