Checking up if it is ok to use a content delivery network like cloudflare or Amazon web services.

I think this was not considered an option before due to caching dynamic content issues, is this still the case?

“Works with static and dynamic content
CloudFlare caches static resources including JavaScript, CSS and images. Your dynamic content continues to be served direct from your web server automatically. ”

Have you seen any issue with this?

Is this correct?

If Amazon CloudFront CDN is like cloudflare, do you think amazon cloudfront cdn would be ok? In many ways i think Amazon cdn is better than cloudflare, but want to make sure nothing there that will conflict with wpgeo.

I think this is an important thing to get to know because I think many users could benefit from cdn.

Cloudflare and Amazon CDN are 2 different things.

the 1st is more of an automatic process. You use their name servers and it will basically mirror part of your website serving your static file from their servers.

We use it for Theme Tailors since 3 years, it took 2 minutes to setup back than and it saved us 80% of bandwidth each year (for free), while protecting the website from malicious attacks of any kind.

Amazon has to be setup. I have never done it and I’m not 100% sure it will be as easy as setting up CloudFlare.

This plugin for example https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/ will not work for all listings images, because they are not uploaded via wordpress media uploader. I’m almost positive that you wont find a plug and play solution for that.

In addition with amazon you pay for each byte of space and bandwidth used. That is something to consider too.

Hope this helps deciding.

Thanks
