    Max Age
    (RFC)

    The max-age directive indicates the response should be considered stale after 3600 seconds (1 hour).

    For example, since this response was fetched on Jan 22, 2025, 1:53:08 AM, it will become stale on Jan 22, 2025, 2:53:08 AM.

    Shared Max Age
    (RFC)

    The s-maxage directive indicates the response should be considered stale by shared caches (such as a CDN) after 7200 seconds (2 hours).

    For example, since this response was fetched on Jan 22, 2025, 1:53:08 AM, it will become stale for shared caches on Jan 22, 2025, 3:53:08 AM.

    No Transform
    (RFC)
    The no-transform directive indicates that any intermediate cache must not transform this response (for example: change content type, compress data, filter responses, etc.)

    Stale While Revalidate
    (RFC)
    The stale-while-revalidate directive indicates that after a response becomes stale, the cache may continue to serve it for up to 36000 seconds (10 hours) while it is revalidated in the background.
