I need to implement a couple Javascript redirects using window.location on my site. This redirect fires in very specific circumstances and I don't want that redirect cached.

I found info about how CloudFlare handles 301s and 302s but how will it respond to JS redirecting?

Thank you!

Solution :

CloudFlare will cache a JS redirect just like it caches a normal HTML page, because a JS redirect is a normal HTML page. If you don't want CloudFlare to cache particular JS redirecting code, I suggest you use a page rule to specify that you do not want the HTML/JS that initiates the redirect cached.
