Purging CDN Cache

Cache behavior depends on cache settings configuration and HTTP Headers returned by the origin server.

WARNING

Cache purging only affects content cached on CDN nodes. It cannot directly clear cache in end-user browsers.

1. Log in to ByteArk Fleet (CDN) and select your target Web CDN Service
2. Navigate to Settings menu, find the API Key section and click Generate API Key
