Prefetches content from origin servers to L2 CDN edge nodes.

Note
  • This feature reduces loads on origin servers because users can directly hit cache upon their first visits.
  • Each Alibaba Cloud account can refresh at most 2,000 URLs per day. You cannot prefetch content based on directories.
  • You can call the RefreshObjectCaches operation to refresh content and call the PushObjectCache operation to prefetch content.
  • Alibaba Cloud CDN supports POST requests in which parameters are sent as a form.
  • L2 CDN edge nodes are deployed between L1 CDN edge nodes and origin servers to reduce loads on the origin servers.
