This post details the application of Cloudflare's Page Rules to cache HTML content for MoogMusic.com during a significant traffic spike caused by a Google doodle. By defining a Page Rule to 'Cache Everything' for static portions of the site, Cloudflare was able to serve approximately 92% of requests directly from its edge infrastructure, reducing origin VPS load and bandwidth by over 90%. This effectively allowed the origin VPS to handle the remaining dynamic content without being overwhelmed.
