 * Hi
 * I have setup the plugin together with a Bucket on S3, and further I have a CloudFront
   Distribution running from that S3 Bucket. This works great, and when I upload
   images to WordPress, then they upload and I can see, that the image-url relates
   to the CloudFront Distribution. All good 🙂
 * But – when I tick the “Imgix Support” checkbox here [https://cl.ly/2E360P39091g](https://cl.ly/2E360P39091g),
   then I can’t upload new images as the uploads fail with “HTTP error on upload”.
   But the images already uploaded change – as expected – from CloudFront to imgIX
   urls.
 * Saying, that uploads only work when imgIX Support is disabled.
 * Suggestions?

 * Why do you have a cloud front distribution if you are using Imgix?

 * Hi
 * Are you saying, that CloudFront is not needed, if I’m using imgIX? I mean – basically
   imgIX is providing the same speed CDN as imgIX? Your suggestion is to 1) keep
   the S3 but 2) switch off the CloudFront part?
 * Thanks

 * Imgix is a CDN that happens to do image manipulation. So, you don’t need the 
   CloudFront part because Imgix is doing what CloudFront does.
 * The way it works is that when you request an image from Imgix, it’ll load the
   original from your S3 bucket, do any manipulations such as resizing or cropping
   or whatever, and then cache that manipulated image on its CDN.
 * This media tools plugin was built for a very high traffic media heavy news website
   and we’ve had zero issues with Imgix as the CDN.

 * Hi
 * That’s great as I AFAIK easily can switch off CloudFront and run it directly 
   from the bucket. Good good – thanks!
