Setup An AWS CloudFront CDN For Your WordPress Blog In 15 Min | Tutorial

Easily set up an AWS CloudFront CDN for your WordPress blog that's running SSL using W3 Total Cache. The best part is by reviewing this tutorial you can have CloudFront up and running for WordPress in less than 15 minutes.

This is a refresh of a video I created back in Dec 2016, and shows the various updates made to the AWS Management Console and W3 Total Cache. This tutorial has also removed references to steps the previous tutorial called out that are not required. In addition, the tutorial explains setting up a CloudFront CDN for a WordPress blog that is running SSL.

I'll be explaining exactly what you need to do in the AWS Management Console to set up a new user. You'll create a new CloudFront Distribution using the W3 Total Cache Plugin, and we'll test it all out to ensure things are working.

Topics covered in this video include:

Accessing the AWS Management Console
Creating a User Group and User within the Identity and Access Management console of AWS
Configure W3 Total Cache CDN Settings
Setting Up The CloudFront Distribution In AWS
Testing out your WordPress Blog to ensure content is being pulled from the CDN
