Once in awhile you might update a file and want the changes to appear immediately to the public.
Typical scenarios;
- You've made a critical change and need it visible immediately
- You've made a major change to a file that is not often changed, and which has a long cache duration set
- You've removed a file from your website, and you need it removed immediately from the cache as well
Notes
It's important to remember that Cloudflare has the ability to manage its own cache and what it delivers to browsers. It does not have the ability to directly update a browser's cache.
Beware of setting long browser-cache durations when this may be an issue, because your file can still be cached and displayed by browsers even if you've removed it from your website and Cloudflare cache.
