"Uptime is always perfect.""The CDN interface is intuitive and user-friendly, and there are no intrusive ads or upselling additional services. Everything is self-contained, and it's a convenient CDN overall. We also loved that they provided a free trial period. They always seem to do what's best for the consumer and the internet.""Since transitioning to G-Core, our site has started working much faster, and freezes have stopped. Users are staying on the site longer and visiting more sections. We increased the number of customers by 30 percent in the past six months. This is partially attributable to G-Core services.""The support is amazing! They solve the issues on the fly."

Cons
"A lot of caching features must be added to the solution.""The product could support any network load balancer. At present, we can use only Amazon’s load balancer application.""Amazon CloudFront is harder to understand compared to Azure.""Support needs to be enhanced.""There is room for improvement in customer service and support.""Amazon CloudFront can improve by accurately determining the latency of a non-defined URL that the solution encounters.""The user interface could be improved.""The lack of seamless integration made the setup process more complex and required additional research to manage all the services properly."

"Once in the past six months, we got a "site is unavailable" error for a maximum of 20 minutes.""There are some nuances in the tariff configurations that we found confusing. We would like more flexibility in this area.""I would like to have one optimized report that we could use for our own needs.""It would be great if there were a section on the provider's website that shows a set of services for a particular business. It would be helpful to have some kind of checklist of services that are suitable for your blog, which are required, and which can be set up later."

    Overview

    Amazon CloudFront is a global content delivery network (CDN) service that accelerates delivery of your websites, APIs, video content or other web assets. It integrates with other Amazon Web Services products to give developers and businesses an easy way to accelerate content to end users with no minimum usage commitments. Amazon CloudFront can be used to deliver your entire website, including dynamic, static, streaming, and interactive content using a global network of edge locations. Requests for your content are automatically routed to the nearest edge location, so content is delivered with the best possible performance. Amazon CloudFront is optimized to work with other Amazon Web Services, like Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon Route 53. Amazon CloudFront also works seamlessly with any non-AWS origin server, which stores the original, definitive versions of your files. Like other Amazon Web Services products, there are no long-term contracts or minimum monthly usage commitments for using Amazon CloudFront – you pay only for as much or as little content as you actually deliver through the content delivery service.
