Default Edge Rule Settings for Web Acceleration

These are the default edge rule settings used for web acceleration on 5centsCDN:

CDN Caching – Edge

  • Status: Enabled
  • Type: CDN Controlled
  • Custom Value: 1209600 seconds (14 days)

Defines the time content is cached on CDN edge servers for optimal web acceleration.

CDN Caching – Midgress

  • Status: Enabled
  • Type: CDN Controlled
  • Custom Value: 1209600 seconds (14 days)

Similar to edge caching, this controls the caching between the edge servers and the origin server.

Browser Caching

  • Status: Enabled
  • Type: CDN Controlled
  • Custom Value: 2592000 seconds (30 days)

Sets the browser cache expiration time to 30 days for improved load times on repeat visits.

Ignore Set-Cookie

  • Status: Disabled

By default, this is disabled, meaning the CDN does not ignore “Set-Cookie” headers and will not cache content that includes cookies.

Query String

  • Status: Enabled if the website has a search field
  • Default Behavior: Ignore All

The CDN will ignore query strings for cache purposes unless configured otherwise, improving cache efficiency.

Country Access Policy

  • Status: Inherit (User can configure later)

This setting allows the user to later define rules for granting or restricting access based on the user’s country.

IP Access Policy

  • Status: Inherit (User can configure later)

Users can customize IP access policies, allowing or restricting access based on IP addresses.

User-Agents Policy

  • Status: Inherit (User can configure later)

Users can specify access policies based on User-Agent strings.

GZip Compression

  • Status: Enabled

GZip compression is enabled by default to compress and speed up the delivery of text-based assets such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security)

  • Status: Enabled
  • Policy: No Referrer
  • Settings: All checkboxes are unchecked

HSTS ensures browsers only connect to your site over HTTPS, enhancing security by preventing downgrade attacks.

TLS Versions

  • Status: Enabled
  • Supported Versions: TLSv1.1 & TLSv1.2

TLS v1.1 and v1.2 are enabled to ensure secure data transmission.

Redirect HTTP to HTTPS

  • Status: Enabled

This automatically redirects all HTTP traffic to HTTPS to enforce secure connections across the site.

Always Online

  • Status: Enabled
  • Errors Supported: Error, Timeout, Invalid Header, Updating, Error 500, 502, 503, 504, 403, 404, 429

Always Online mode ensures that a cached version of your site is displayed in case the origin server experiences downtime.

Brotli Compression

  • Status: Enabled

Brotli is enabled by default to provide better compression for text-based assets compared to GZip, further improving performance.

CORS Header Support

  • Status: Enabled
  • Select for all domains
  • Checkbox Disabled

CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is enabled to allow assets to be accessed across different domains.

Add X-Forwarded-For

  • Status: Enabled

This adds the X-Forwarded-For header to requests, helping to track the original client IP.

CMS Optimization (Optional)

  • CMS-specific optimizations can be applied for platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Magento, etc., depending on the user’s needs.

These default edge rule settings are designed to optimize performance, security, and delivery speed, while allowing flexibility for user-specific configurations.
