UpdateNot yet verified

As of April 7, 2026, when you replace or delete a file in the Shopify admin, Shopify will no longer proactively purge the file's URL on cdn.shopify.com/.... The previously cached content will continue to be served until the URL's TTL (Time to Live) expires. This change aims to reduce CDN purge volume and improve consistency across our edge providers.
