Manage redirect following

When a CDN server receives a response from the origin with a redirect code (301, 302, 303, 307, 308), it caches this response and passes it to the browser. The browser then follows the redirect link to fetch the content.

To have the CDN server follow the redirect link, cache the content, and deliver it to the user, you can enable redirect following. This speeds up content loading for the user. At any time, you can disable redirect following.

Enable redirect following

  1. In the control panel, in the top menu, click Products and select CDN.

  2. In the CDN Resources section, open the CDN resource page → General.

  3. In the Redirect settings block, select the Follow redirects.

  4. Click Apply. While applying the settings, the CDN resource will be in the PROCESSING status. During this time, applying other settings is unavailable. The settings will apply once the CDN resource changes to the ACTIVE status.
