Hi,

With the remote storage on AmazonS3 you guys take away the pain of hosting all files self, which is oke.
Enabling the CDN network feature does not include the S3 hosted files.

Is it possible to enable the cloudfront feature on Amazon to benefit it's cache? Jreviews also does this, it has amazonS3 bucket for storage and you have the option to use cloudfront on it:

Hey Jasper,

Thanks for the input on this, we'll consider this in the near future but you could actually use tools like Nonumber CDN to do a replacement of urls to your Cloudfront urls

P/S: I never liked Cloudfront because it loads horribly slow for us here in Asia

Hi Mark,

Your welcome.
As a dedicated webmaster i, ofcourse, try to use as less plugins as possible. Installing NoNumber is nice but i prefer native

Oh strange, here it's lightning fast. But good that you tell me as i have international people using my app and those resources are also on cloudfare....

Yep, European and America should be pretty fast. It only seems to happen to Malaysia as it is extremely slow for me when I visit any site with cloudfront.

Also, cloudfront adds some overheads during the initial request I believe.
