AWS CloudFront with W3 Total Cache

I have been able to configure the CDN using this document:

https://github.com/W3EDGE/w3-total-cache/wiki/FAQ:-CDN#how-do-i-configure-amazon-simple-storage-service-amazon-s3-or-amazon-cloudfront-as-my-cdn

Basically you have to:

1.- Menu: Performance \ General Settings \ CDN –> Activate the CDN in the W3 Total Cache:

2.- In AWS go to : https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/security_credentials$access_key

Create an “Access key”:

3.- Menu: Performance \ CDN —> enter the credentials, and then “Create Distribution”. If there is no error, then “Save settings & purge cache”.

Note: the recommendation is the creation of a policy. I still need some time to do this.

The result

I have improved the grade under GTmetrix rules, from “D” to “A” from Vancouver.
