    That’s a completely valid concern—clearing the entire cache just to update a single file is definitely inefficient, especially for a custom PHP app where changes can be frequent. Ideally, Cloudflare should allow more granular cache control like purging by URL, which is actually supported in some configurations via API or specific settings, but it’s surprising you’re not able to use it even on Enterprise. It might be worth double-checking if “Purge by URL” or API-based cache purge is enabled for your account.

    From a usability perspective, this kind of limitation creates unnecessary friction—similar to systems like the idMe KPM Malaysia login system, where everything is designed to give users precise and controlled access instead of forcing broad actions. Having fine control (like purging a single file) not only improves efficiency but also makes the system much more practical for real-world use. https://idme-kpm.my/

    I completely understand the frustration here—clearing the entire cache just to update a single file can really slow things down, especially on a live site. It would definitely be more efficient to have a per-URL or file-level purge option. Have you tried using Cloudflare’s API for targeted cache purging? It usually allows you to clear specific URLs instead of everything. Hopefully this feature becomes more accessible in the dashboard too, as it would make workflows much smoother 👍 https://bolly4u.co.uk/how-to-fix-bug-on-evebiohaztech/
