cache_​tag_​visible

Behavior name: Cache Tag Visibility

Cache tags are comma-separated string values you define within an Edge-Cache-Tag header. You can use them to flexibly fast purge tagged segments of your cached content. You can either define these headers at the origin server level, or use the modify_outgoing_response_header behavior to configure them at the edge.

Apply this behavior to confirm you're deploying the intended set of cache tags to your content.

For guidance on deploying cache tags, see Fast Purge.

Use the Fast Purge API to purge by cache tag programmatically.
