Caching of resized images (server side caching)

The proxy caches images in different ways, depending on the rate of requests, no more than 31 days, most often at least 7 days.

The rules we use for server side caching are different from the ones you see in the headers we provide for browsers.

We utilize proxy-caching in NGINX to accomplish this, on top of that, CloudFlare caches the most frequently accessed images globally.

The server will only initiate a refresh when all caches have expired, and only when the image is still being requested by end users.
