Laravel Cloudflare Cache – Serve millions of requests by caching with Cloudflare

https://repository-images.githubusercontent.com/734458925/b9ca4a63-95b7-4a98-9197-692272ff35b4

You can serve millions of requests with this package. This package provides cacheable routes for Cloudflare. Thanks to Cloudflare, your static pages are served efficiently, reducing the load on your servers if they are cached for the TTL (Time to Live) duration. You can purge the cache whenever you need with this package.

You can install the package via composer:

composer require yediyuz/laravel-cloudflare-cache

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="cloudflare-cache-config"

Add environment variables to .env file

CLOUDFLARE_CACHE_EMAIL=info@example.com #Cloudflare account email address
CLOUDFLARE_CACHE_KEY=XXXXXXX #Cloudflare API_KEY
CLOUDFLARE_CACHE_IDENTIFIER=XXXXXXX #ZONE_ID
CLOUDFLARE_DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL=600 #10 minutes
CLOUDFLARE_CACHE_DEBUG=false

To active caching on static pages, you need to add page rule OR cache rule on Cloudflare.

For page rule:

If the URL matches: www.example.com/*
Setting: Cache Level
Value: Cache Everything

For the cache rule:

Field: hostname
Operator: equals
Value: example.com
Then: Eligible for cache

You can use cache groups for your static contents.

Route::cache()->group(function () {
    Route::get('/content', function () {
        return 'content';
    });
});

You can use cache tags, so you can clear your caches easily. Specify custom ttl for expire time in seconds. When you do not pass ttl, it will use default ttl given in the config.

Route::cache(tags: ['tag1', 'tag2'], ttl: 600)->group(function () {
    Route::get('/content_with_tags', function () {
        return 'content';
    });
});

Route::cache(tags: ['staticPages'])->group(function () {
    //
});

Warning

Be careful caching your routes! Do not cache your dynamic pages such as admin panel or form based pages!
