Question

Cloudfare CDN - why?

Posted January 8, 2021 500 views
CDN

I was trying to work out why a static file served up with http was stale when I noticed the response header had ‘cf-cache-status: HIT’ which I understand is added by Cloudfare CDN.
I wasn’t aware I’d added Cloudfare CDN, how did that happen?
When I look at the 'Spaces’ tab in Control panel it says there aren’t any.

Hi there @mandydandy,

Is your website deployed on a Droplet or on the new DigitalOcean App Platform?

If it is on the new App Platform, then this is normal behavior. The App Platform comes with a Global CDN powered by Cloudflare.

For more information you can take a look at the feature here:

It’s on a droplet, but I’ve just been reminded that the domain is registered through Cloudfare…would that add CDN services?

    Hello,

    Yes this would be the case, in case that you are using Gloudflare’s nameservers.

    If this is the case, you can stop the CDN by going to your Cloudflare account, -> then click on your domain name -> click on DNS -> and there next to your A record disable the proxy option.

    Regards,
    Bobby
