Cache by Region

When you enable the Cache by Region option for a given service, the geographical region of the requestor is added to the cache key.

The cache key is the identifier used by CacheFly to locate in its cache the content requested by a user.

Thus, through the addition of different geographical regions to the cache key, the service can cache different content for each of those geographical regions.
