Introduced a zero-configuration HTML edge caching mechanism using HTTP headers (`x-HTML-Edge-Cache`). This allows origins to signal cacheability, specify visitor rules (e.g., bypass for logged-in users), and trigger cache purges (`purgeall`). This reduces TTFB by serving HTML directly from the edge, eliminating origin server performance as a bottleneck for anonymous users. Demonstrated implementation with a WordPress plugin and Cloudflare Workers, utilizing Workers KV for cache versioning and global purging.
