Measure both the visitor-to-edge path and the edge-to-origin path for a site serving Azerbaijan. A cached response may be delivered close to the visitor. A cache miss also depends on the origin route and application processing.
Classify the requests
Separate static assets, public pages and personalized responses. HTML caching depends on configuration. Cloudflare's defaults, for example, do not cache HTML or JSON. Check the rules in use and test shopping carts, signed-in pages and private responses separately.
Measure four workflows
From representative user networks, compare a cache hit, a miss, a dynamic request and a completed form submission. Record response time, status, actual cache behavior and operation outcome. Repeat from available networks and at different times. One client in one city does not describe the whole country.
Size the origin around misses and writes
Suppose images load quickly but inquiry submission stalls. The team measures application and database time, then compares the dynamic request from available networks using the same data. It considers an origin move if measurements show an improvement for the operations that matter.
Check how updates reach visitors
Change a public asset and page and check when the corrected version becomes visible. Document the cache invalidation procedure and its owner. Verify that a personalized response cannot be served to another user who requests the same path.
Plan failure behavior
Agree TLS checks, origin health verification and a rollback for CDN configuration. Decide what visitors see when the origin becomes unavailable. Check cached asset availability and form operation separately.
