Development Mode

Development Mode temporarily suspends Cloudflare's edge caching and Polish features for three hours unless disabled beforehand. Development Mode allows customers to immediately observe changes to their cacheable content like images, CSS, or JavaScript.

Note

To bypass cache for longer than three hours, use bypass cache in Cache Rules.
