Enable Tiered Cache

  1. Log in to your Cloudflare dashboard and select your domain.
  2. Select Caching > Tiered Cache.
  3. From Argo Tiered Cache, toggle the button to enabled.

After enabling Tiered Cache, you are automatically enrolled in Smart Tiered Cache.

​​ Smart Tiered Cache

Smart Tiered Cache dynamically selects the single best upper tier for each of your website’s origins with no configuration required, using our in-house performance and routing data. Cloudflare collects latency data for each request to an origin, and uses the latency data to determine how well any upper-tier data center is connected with an origin. As a result, Cloudflare can select the best data center with the lowest latency to be the upper-tier for an origin.

​​ Bandwidth Alliance may interrupt Tiered Cache
