  • Summary: Cloudflare announced Workers Cache on 2026-07-06, a regionally tiered cache that sits in front of a Worker so that on a cache hit the Worker code never runs. It is available to every Worker on any plan, enabled by adding "cache": { "enabled": true } to wrangler.jsonc, and controlled through standard response headers such as Cache-Control. It uses a lower tier in each data center and an upper tier aggregating across the network, and follows the Worker across custom domains, workers.dev, service bindings, previews, and Workers for Platforms tenants.
  • Why it matters: Server-rendered Workers can cache rendered responses on a chosen TTL instead of choosing between slow full prerenders and rendering every request.
