Will the Traffic Pass Through WAF If Both CDN and WAF Are Configured?

There are two situations:

  • If the requested content is found in the cache, the traffic does not pass through WAF. CDN directly serves the requested content.
  • If the requested content is not found in the cache, the traffic passes through WAF and then reaches the origin server. See the following figure.

For details about how to configure both CDN and WAF, see Combining CDN and WAF to Get Improved Protection and Load Speed.
