Summary

Vercel's CDN stopped caching origin responses when the Vary header includes Cookie, since cookie values are often visitor-specific.

Key facts

  • Vercel CDN no longer caches origin responses when Vary includes Cookie.
  • Vary tells a cache which request headers may change the response.
  • Cookies often contain visitor-specific values.

Why it matters

Sites relying on Vercel's CDN for responses that vary by Cookie will no longer get cached copies, so those requests now reach the origin.
