Confusion over how caching and CDNs work

    Hi,
    I’m a bit confused about how my WP Rocket caching plugin works in relation to the CDN I have set up and running in the plugin settings. Both are working together fine, but my questions are as follows.

    1. When I clear the cache in WP Rocket, after making a change to site pages, and preload cache again, do I then have to purge the cache in my CDN? If I do purge the cache in my CDN, do I then have to clear and preload WP Rocket cache again?

    2. If I set up Never Cache URL(s) in Advanced settings in WP Rocket, so that WP Rocket doesn’t cache certain URLs, do I have to set up some “never cache” rules in the CDN as well? Or does the CDN just pull in the WP Rocket cache?

    As you can see I am a bit confused about how caching and CDNs work exactly! I hope you can help me,

    Thank you,

    Ben

    Since that is a commercial plugin, we ask that you please go to their official support channel, so you can get support from the people who know it best: https://wp-rocket.me/support/

    Forum volunteers are not given access to commercial products, so they would not know how it operates. Other community members who may have faced your issue might be able to help you but your best bet is your product’s developer. Keep in mind we encourage you to use the official support venues, as it allows the developers to be aware of issues with their code and gives back to the community in a more robust way.
