    Hi Folks

    I’m sure you get this a lot, but W3TC is mindblowing, thank you!

    I got my CloudFront distribution working with W3TC almost immediately, but adding CNAMEs was a huge headache. After I switched to CNAMEs, the static content just wouldn’t download… my site became a pile of text and not much else.

    It turns out that he issue was that, together, CNAMEs and SSL access aren’t compatible with Amazon (without some restrictions/addons). When I disabled HTTPS access and enabled CNAMEs, everything works perfectly… yay!

    Here’s where I got the info (although using the comma technique didn’t work for me, disabling SSL access did) https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=421546&#421546

    Thanks and best regards
    David
