What Are the Meanings of HEAD, HIT, and MISS in CDN Logs?
- HEAD
The HEAD method is similar to the GET method. The only difference is that the server does not return a message body for a HEAD request. In a response to a HEAD request, the metadata contained in the HTTP header is the same as that in a response to a GET request. This method can be used to obtain the metadata about an entity without transferring the entity itself. It is also often used to test the validity, availability, and recent changes of hyperlinks.
- HIT
This indicates a cache hit. A PoP directly serves the content.
- MISS
This indicates a cache miss. A PoP needs to pull content from the origin server.
