 * Hi [@3dmodelfree](https://wordpress.org/support/users/3dmodelfree/),
    No that
   is not possible. Also changing the fallback cache directory within the same server
   is also not possible though it has been requested once before. Check: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fallback-cache-default-dir-change/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fallback-cache-default-dir-change/)
 * But putting the fallback cache folder completely to a different server all together
   that will not be possible. Sorry!

 * would you plz review following idea?
    step 1) 301 redirect the fallback cache
   to new folder (even in new server) step 2) sync fallback cache folder with new
   folder or path in new server. is it possible this way?

 * Hi [@3dmodelfree](https://wordpress.org/support/users/3dmodelfree/),
    What you
   are asking is almost impossible to do. Please note that your fallback cache is
   not a HTTP request that you will do 301 redirect to another URL. The way fallback
   cache works is that when a request comes for a page the Cloudflare checks if 
   that page is in their cache and if it is then provide it from their CDN. If not
   the request comes to the origin server and the plugin grabs the request to check
   if there is a fallback cache already generated for that page, if there is then
   the plugin provides that already generated fallback cache HTML version of the
   page to the request and the user sees it. In this way the origin server didn’t
   had to do much work to regenerate and recreate the whole HTML by running the 
   PHP. If fallback cache is not present for that page, the request is passed to
   the server to generate the HTML and send to the user which ofcourse takes more
   time.
 * There is no way to save the fallback cache on a different server and then to 
   check if cache exists open a new connection to that new server and make CRUD 
   operations there. Sorry man!
