How to control the cache when Redirect in a Cloudflare worker

• 1 min read

If you need to disable the browser cache in a Cloudflare worker when Redirect, such as:

addEventListener('fetch', event => {
  event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request))
})

async function handleRequest (request) {
	
  return Response.redirect('https://www.example.com/', statusCode)
  
}

The statusCode param is the key part:

  • 301 if you want to cache the request
  • 302 if you DON’T want to cache the request
