Automated Cachefly Traffic and Cache Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens the Cachefly dashboard, reads yesterday's bandwidth delivered, cache hit ratio, and the top requested assets across your CDN configurations, posts a compact digest to Slack, and sends a Telegram alert if the cache hit ratio has dropped sharply from its normal range.

In short

How do I monitor my Cachefly CDN traffic and cache performance daily?

Every morning, WebRun reads yesterday's bandwidth delivered, cache hit ratio, and top requested assets from Cachefly. It posts a compact digest to Slack and sends a separate Telegram alert if the cache hit ratio has dropped sharply from its normal range, so a caching problem gets flagged the same day it happens.

  • A cache ratio drop gets flagged the same day, not after complaints roll in
  • The top assets by traffic are visible without pulling a manual report
  • The Slack digest takes seconds to read every morning

Questions, answered

Does it purge cache or change CDN settings?

No. WebRun only reads delivery metrics and reports them. Purging cache or changing a CDN configuration always stays your decision.

Why would the cache hit ratio drop?

Common causes include a configuration change, a spike in unique content requests, or an origin issue, but WebRun reports the drop rather than diagnosing the cause.

What counts as the top assets?

The files with the most requests in the prior day, which is useful for spotting an unexpected traffic spike on a specific asset.
