Caching Level

By default our Website Firewall will cache certain pages of your site to improve the speed and the experience for your users. You can disable caching here if for some reason you do not want that to happen. It is not recommended, since it can slow down the user experience. If you need certain pages not to be cached, you can add them on the Non-Cache URLs.

NOTE: The following file extensions are cached regardless of the caching level:
js, css, png, jpg, swf, jpeg, svg, gif, ico, txt, mp4, mp3, pdf, woff, ttf, thumb.
If you want to rebuild the cache of one or more of these static files, go to the Clear Cache page.

Clear Cache

This option can be used to clear the whole Website Firewall cache after any website changes have been made. This will reflect live as soon as you click the clear cache button, but it might take a couple of minutes depending on the size of the website and the quantity of cached objects.

NOTE: The following file extensions are cached regardless of the cache level:
js, css, png, jpg, swf, jpeg, svg, gif, ico, txt, mp4, mp3, pdf, woff, ttf, thumb.

If you want to rebuild the cache of one or more of these static files you have to use the "Clear Cache" button, or bookmark the Clear Cache API and clear the cache at any time without accessing this dashboard.

Clear Cache Per File

If you want to clear the cache on a specific file or folder, you can do it here. This will reflect live as soon as you click the clear cache button.

Enable Compression

Compressing resources will reduce the number of bytes sent over the network and will improve performance for most web sites. It is recommended to enable it.

Enable Brotli Support

Compressing resources will reduce the number of bytes sent over the network and will improve performance for most web sites. It is recommended to enable it. Only if your hosting have this option enabled on their server.

Non-Cache URLs

If you want to have the Website Firewall cache enabled on your site, but disable it for certain directories, you can do it here. Just specify what paths should not be cached and we will never do any caching there.

If you are unsure, ask our support team and they will help.

Developer Mode

This option allows you to add trusted IP addresses that will bypass all cache, including static files. It is useful if you need to review your changes while updating/developing something new for your website. But be aware that those accessing your website with the IP addresses listed here may experience significantly slower connection.
