Public Services

A one-day cache for shared public endpoints.

Public-service images are cached for fast repeat delivery while following a predictable daily refresh cycle.

Cache duration

Images served by Public Services are cached for one day. The public cache is purged every day at 00:00 UTC, allowing provider-side avatar changes to be picked up regularly.

What this means

  • A recently changed upstream avatar may remain cached until the next refresh.
  • Different URL paths or query strings may produce separate cached entries.
  • The policy applies to shared Public Services, not to regular WebP Cloud proxy cache behavior.

Need manual purging or a cache policy tied to your own origin? Use a WebP Cloud proxy instead.
