Learn how Cloudflare’s Development Mode temporarily bypasses caching to facilitate testing of changes to production content.

Overview

Development Mode temporarily suspends Cloudflare's edge caching, minification, polish, and railgun features for 3 hours unless disabled beforehand.  Development Mode allows customers to immediately observe changes to their cacheable content (like images, CSS, or JavaScript).  

To enable Development Mode:

1. Log in to your Cloudflare account.
2. Select your domain.
3. Select the Caching app.

Toggle Development Mode to On.
