# Cache TTL by status code

Cache TTL by status code

Note

If you are migrating from Page Rules and you want to keep Page Rules behavior, you need to create two specific rules before creating this rule. For more details refer to [Migration from Page Rules](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/how-to/cache-rules/page-rules-migration/).

[Create a cache rule](https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/how-to/cache-rules/create-dashboard/) to cache responses with status code between `200` and `599` for one day for any hostname containing `example.com`:

* **When incoming requests match**: Custom filter expression  
   * Using the Expression Builder:  
   `Hostname contains "example.com"`  
   * Using the Expression Editor:  
   `(http.host contains "example.com")`
* **Then**:  
   * **Cache eligibility**: Eligible for cache  
   * **Setting**: Edge TTL  
         * Use cache-control header if present, use default Cloudflare caching behavior if not  
         * **Status code TTL**:  
                  * **Scope**: _Range_  
                  * **From**: _200_  
                  * **To**: _599_  
                  * **Duration**: _1 day_
