Cache Warming

Cache Warming is a process that enhances the performance of a Content Delivery Network (CDN). In a CDN, content is hot when actively used and cold when it has been inactive for a period, risking eviction to make space for new content. Cache Warming addresses this by reheating already cached 'cold' content and adding new content to the cache in anticipation of user demand.

This technique is particularly valuable during expected traffic spikes, such as product launches or live events. It ensures that your content, especially resource-intensive files like dynamically generated images or spreadsheets, is readily available and delivered quickly to users, enhancing their experience and reducing load times.

By employing Cache Warming, you can proactively manage your CDN's efficiency and maintain optimal content availability, even during high-demand situations.
