Issue

  • Are the images and JSON files served from Liferay cached at CDN in Liferay Cloud?

Environment

  • Liferay Cloud- PaaS

Resolution

  1. According to Google's documentation, images (including JPEG and PNG) are cached and can be validated from the GCP logs. But, the JSON files are not cached by default.
  2. Content types, such as HTML (text/html) and JSON (application/json), are not cached by default for successful responses. These types of responses are typically dynamic (per user). Examples include shopping carts, product pages with user personalization, and authenticated API responses. Negative caching if enabled, can still cause those to be cached for certain status codes, however.
