## Reviews
### [It does not work – very disappointed.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-very-disappointed/)
[bk9001](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bk9001/) October 3, 2024
It looked promising with so many videos promoting it. But, unfortunately, it doesn’t
work so I have no choice but to give a poor rating. What else can I say about it
after wasting several hours to make it work? AWS credentials were created new with
correct AWS Cloud Front access policy. No cloud front distribution has been created
and it doesn’t even give any error too. Tried reinstalling this plug-in but it still
doesn’t do any thing. The AWS cloudtrail even doesn’t show any event that means –
it didn’t even send any API call to create a distribution. Looks like a total waste
of time. 10/2/2024 Update There is a bug in plugin. But there is way to fix it –
check the support forum thread to fix this. Because plug-in has an unfixed bug,
leaving the ratings to still ‘*’ for now.

It doesn’t work. The access credentials creation tutorial is not up to date.

[saymeak](https://profiles.wordpress.org/saymeak/) March 2, 2024
Thanks to the developers of this plugin – getting 79% hit ratio easily.
### [Very good – But needs Buddyboss bug fixed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-good-but-needs-buddyboss-bug-fixed/)
[havenwebmanagement](https://profiles.wordpress.org/havenwebmanagement/) July 10,

Works very well, except 2 problems with Buddyboss, the profile header in my timeline
url gets distorted and profile pics disappear. Also couple Buddyboss widgets failed
to work in Elementor pop up which works when plugin is disabled. Apart from that
this could be on to a winner!
### [AWS User instruction article is geo-blocked](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/aws-user-instruction-article-is-geo-blocked/)
[ristekaus](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ristekaus/) May 7, 2023
a) Your instruction article is geo-blocked in Australia. Not visible. b) Does the
setup require changes to DNS records (to point to CDN)? c) Page speed in GTmatrix
slows down a lot after the pluggin is activated. Surely the aim is to speed up?
### [This Plugin is not compatible with woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-plugin-is-not-compatible-with-woocommerce/)
[unleashedpremium](https://profiles.wordpress.org/unleashedpremium/) June 6, 2023
