Getting bad results with AWS combo, need advice!

Hello guys! Trying to figure out where ive messed up my setup. Got AWS s3+CloudFront+route53.
First screenshot is results with https://www.webpagetest.org, page size is just over 100kb, not sure if its bad for simple 1 picture lander.

Second pic is what bothers me. I set Gzip compression in AWS settings and why does it say i dont have working CDN? Also, speed test results for USA/Europe differs alot...

Hey, what geo are you running? I got to sub 600 ms speeds for most of my landers in the APAC region by hosting some files in Singapore instead of the US which had like 1.5 s load time. I have the same server setup as you too. Try to host your files near the geo that you're running on. Worked for me.

Try gtmetrix. Webpagetest.org has become very inaccurate.

With a CDN though, it shouldn't matter where the files are actually stored, because the pages are actually served from the CDN servers - which are located all over the world.

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Ah gotcha, I tested it on Webpagetest which showed me the difference. But as you said, its become inaccurate so I'll use gtmetrix as well from now on.

Thanks

Could also be a bad configuration and your CDN setup is not really active.

When you load your page do you see the following headers included?

X-Amz-Cf-Id: somevalue
x-amz-version-id: somevalue
X-Cache: RefreshHit from cloudfront

These days, unless you really know what you are doing, you may want to use a service like LanderBolt import your pages and save time and effort with the whole cdn/optimization part.

I made a video here showing how it works. http://prosper.tracking202.com/blog/...age-11x-faster
