Summary

  • Apply ELI5 (technical simplification) analysis to 5 pages in docs/cache/interaction-cloudflare-products/
  • Improve readability by defining jargon inline, adding "why" context before procedural steps, and replacing marketing language with concrete descriptions
  • Fix a date boundary error in the workers-cache-rules.mdx example (original said "2025-04-02 or earlier" but that date itself has the flag enabled)

Changes by file

File Key changes
index.mdx Add context sentence explaining what caching does and why product interactions matter
workers.mdx Clarify request lifecycle, define O2O inline, replace vague Snippets paragraph with concrete capabilities, add guidance on when to use fetch() vs Cache API
workers-cache-rules.mdx Add compatibility flag summary table, fix date boundary error in example, define compatibility dates/flags inline, clarify cache_api_compat_flags description
waf-snippets.mdx Explain presigned URLs and HMAC before implementation details, clarify WAF/cache pipeline ordering, note Workers HMAC compatibility
r2.mdx Explain why Custom Domains are required, expand Tiered Cache with hierarchy explanation, add notes on r2.dev limitations and default cached file types

Review notes

All changes were validated through an adversarial review step that verified claims against source documentation in the repo. No unsourced critical claims. Three low-to-medium misleading flags were addressed before applying changes.

Apply ELI5 analysis to improve readability across 5 pages:
- index.mdx: Add context about what caching does and why interactions matter
- workers.mdx: Clarify request lifecycle, define jargon (O2O, Tiered Cache), replace marketing language in Snippets paragraph
- workers-cache-rules.mdx: Add compatibility flag table, fix date boundary error in example, define compatibility dates/flags inline
- waf-snippets.mdx: Explain presigned URLs and HMAC before diving into implementation, clarify WAF-cache pipeline ordering
- r2.mdx: Explain why Custom Domains are needed, expand Tiered Cache section, add notes on r2.dev limitations and default cached file types
