Session: cache-key-normalization — 2026-09-17

Project: edge-cache · Branch: fix/cache-keys · Mode: default · Model: claude-sonnet-4-6

Summary

Normalized cache keys: query parameters are sorted, tracking parameters (utm_*, fbclid) are dropped, and Vary headers are folded into the key. Hit ratio on the marketing routes went from 41% to 78%.

Marketing pages barely hit the cache.

Turn 1 — Assistant

Every utm variant is a separate key. Sort params, strip tracking params from an allow-list config, include only the headers listed in Vary.

Tools used in this turn:

• Edit: cache/key.go
• Bash: go test ./cache -run Key — ok
