Poor implementation

After spending hours wrestling with this plugin, which immediately hosed the entire website (it loaded, but there was no styling, and the page kept loading for what seemed like forever) after setting up an Amazon CloudFront CDN, then disabling the caching sections one by one with no luck, the only thing that worked was to remove the plugin. As soon as I did, the site loaded fine.

You need to put a “reset all settings” button somewhere so that after experimenting with settings trying to get a totally hosed website to load, you can at least start from scratch. Removing the plugin leaves all of the settings in the database. I know this because I deactivated it, deleted it, and re-installed/activated it a couple of times and every time I looked at settings they were exactly where I left them before removing it, Amazon Keys and all.

I understand that there are millions of combinations of plugins and themes, but right out of the box with the default settings, this plugin should just work, not do what it did to mine.

After wasting about 6 hours on this, I now will use the Amazon S3 plugins that I should have used in the first place.
