Cloudflare caches files with extension html for static content. But when visiting the root of a website, eg http://foo.com there is no extension specified, thus this page is not cached as static html. How can I tell Cloudflare to cache the homepage without an extension?

Obviously I could use Apache's htaccess to force traffic from http://foo.com to http://foo.com/index.html but that means my server will be hit to execute this redirect, and that's exactly what I want to avoid.

You simply use the explicit url as the page rule. Such as http://foo.com/.

  • But then everything will be cached, including all pages that fall under foo.com/blaba etc. Commented Jan 22, 2018 at 8:15
  • @bart that is incorrect. Only a wildcard rule would do that, such as foo.com/* Commented Jan 23, 2018 at 0:01
  • Also @bart - cloiudflare does not cache pages as static content. Even HTML. Unless you explicitly do so with a page rule. This is because any file extension can be driven through a pre processor on the server depending on the configuration. Commented Jan 23, 2018 at 0:05
  • Fair enough, but question remains, will a page rule at root level be applied to all subfolders? Commented Jan 23, 2018 at 23:20
  • If you use the wildcard character, yes: foo.com/* Commented Jan 24, 2018 at 0:53
