Using Breeze Cache with Amazon CloudFront
Breeze Cache plugin supports CDNs that use a Pull Zone, making it fully compatible with Amazon CloudFront. By connecting CloudFront to Breeze, your website’s static content (such as images, CSS, and JavaScript files) is delivered from the nearest edge server to your visitors, ensuring faster load times and reduced server load. This setup not only improves website speed but also enhances security and scalability for handling higher traffic volumes.
Enabling CDN and Adding Amazon Cloudfront Pull Zone URL in Breeze
Prerequisites:
Please make sure that Breeze WordPress Cache is installed, activated, and configured on your site.
You must have a valid and working Amazon Cloudfront account. Please read here for instructions on creating a Pull Zone.
Log into your WordPress admin panel with your credentials.
Click on Settings in the left menu bar and then on Breeze.
Click on the CDN tab in Breeze settings. Here, you can enable and add the Amazon Cloudfront Pull Zone URL.
