Normalize Query String
Enabling the Normalize Query String option normalizes the query string into alphabetical order. This is especially useful when the query string is included within the cache key.
The cache key is the identifier used by CacheFly to locate in its cache the content requested by a user via that service.
Through the addition of different query strings to the cache key, the service can cache different content for each of the query strings. Normalizing the query strings allows requests that contain essentially the same query string information to be grouped together, for cache consolidation, efficiency, and performance.
