Cache Control — Backlog Item

Problem

Iterative blog and dashboard work (SVG covers, CSS tweaks, template changes) doesn't propagate immediately because Cloudflare's default caching holds static assets for 4+ hours.

What's Already Done

  • CacheControlMiddleware added to blog_app and family_app in main_v2.py
  • HTML pages: Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate + CDN-Cache-Control: no-cache
  • Static assets: Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600 + CDN-Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600
  • Blog article hero images have ?v={{ updated_at }} Jinja2 cache busting

What's Still Needed (P4 — Future Enhancement)

  1. Cloudflare Page Rule — set hoffdesk.com/blog/static/* → Cache Level: Bypass or Respect Existing Headers
  2. Or: CF API token with Zone:Cache Purge permission for automated purging on deploy
  3. Dashboard static files — same ?v= cache-bust pattern for CSS if we're iterating there too
