## CDN now supports 128 KB request and response headers 🚀
8+
9+
We're excited to announce a significant increase in the maximum header size supported by Cloudflare's Content Delivery Network (CDN). Cloudflare now supports up to **128 KB** for both **request and response headers**.
10+
11+
Previously, customers were limited to a total of 32 KB for request or response headers, with a maximum of 16 KB per individual header. Larger headers could cause requests to fail with `HTTP 413` (Request Header Fields Too Large) errors.
12+

### What's new?
16+
17+
- **Support for large headers:** You can now utilize much larger headers, whether as a single large header up to 128 KB or split over multiple headers.
18+
- **Reduces `413` and `520` HTTP errors:** This change drastically reduces the likelihood of customers encountering `HTTP 413` errors from large request headers or `HTTP 520` errors caused by oversized response headers, improving the overall reliability of your web applications.
19+
- **Enhanced functionality:** This is especially beneficial for applications that rely on:
20+
- A large number of cookies.
21+
- Large Content-Security-Policy (CSP) response headers.
22+
- Advanced use cases with Cloudflare Workers that generate large response headers.
23+
24+
This enhancement improves compatibility with Cloudflare's CDN, enabling more use cases that previously failed due to header size limits.
