The CDN cache hit ratio is a crucial metric for evaluating the efficiency of Content Delivery Network (CDN) operations. It represents the percentage of requests that are served from the CDN’s cache rather than being fetched from the origin server. A high cache hit ratio indicates that the CDN is effectively caching frequently accessed content, reducing latency and improving load times for users.
The Time to Live (TTL) setting determines how long a resource is cached. A longer TTL can increase the cache hit ratio by keeping resources in the cache for a more extended period, but it may also lead to stale content if updates are not reflected promptly.
Traffic patterns and the frequency of requests also significantly impact the CDN cache hit ratio. Understanding these factors helps in optimizing TTL settings and overall CDN performance to maximize cache hits.
