cache reserve
Hi,
I'm a little confused about Cache Reserve. Is this similar to bunnycdn (which I believe is a "pull cdn")? I want to maximize my wordpress website's loading time and wondering if cache reserve will help a lot. I have many large videos playing in the background automatically.
Thanks.

When comparing to bunnycdn its most comparable to their "permacache" offering
The idea being that Cache Reserve will store assets potentially forever (as long as theyre accessed once every 30 days) and will dramatically reduce the load on your origin server by serving those assets from Cloudflares storage platform as much as possible

Okay I see
So do you think this would speed up my wordpress website's load time significantly? Previously, I was just using bunnycdn (I didn't have permacache)
With cloudflare cache reserve is there a special URL I can create (like cdn.example.com) where the cached stuff will be stored and fetched from? Or something else? A bit new to this, sorry
Its automatically handled as part of the cache layer, you just turn it on and set a cache rule with an appropriate edge ttl then it works automatically
Whether it would improve performance depends a lot on what's slowing down performance at the moment, if the server is the bottleneck for performance then yes it would help a bunch
I just have a bunch of pretty big videos that play automatically as background videos of my website
I'm thinking it'd be faster if it was fetched directly from cloudflare without constantly going to my origin server to get it
Does that make sense or am I being dumb
makes sense
So would cache reserve probably be worth it in my case?
