   Some single-file cache purge requests (purge by URL) submitted through the Dashboard or API and routed through our EEUR purge queues are experiencing delays of up to 30 minutes. Cache invalidation for these requests may be delayed across our global network. This also affects Always Online. We are working to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, you may use Purge Everything, but this may cause a surge in traffic to your origin server(s) More updates to follow.
