 * Hi guys, does anyone have any experience in setting up amazon CDN with wp super
   cache? I’m looking for a solution, when all site data could be automatically 
   uploaded to amazon s3 and distributed via cloudfront for faster delivery. Is 
   that possible?

 * The CDN option in WP Super Cache plugin is designed to work with “origin-pull”
   method. What you described is called “origin-push”. So, no, it doesn’t work the
   way you expected.
 * However, CloudFront supports origin-pull method too. So, yes, it works with Amazon
   CDN, just not the way you described.
 * That said, I haven’t come across a plugin that automatically uploads all existing
   images to Amazon S3 and then distribute it via CloudFront. Existing plugins can
   only upload the new images, not the existing images.
 * Why would you want to use Amazon S3, when CloudFront (WP Super Cache here) can
   work without Amazon S3?

 * Actually, w3 total cache does a great job by uploading your stuff to Amazon S3
   and serving it via CLoudFront. But for some reason I switched to WP Super Cache
   long time ago and wasnt planning to go back to W3 total cache.
 * So my initial problem is – how to keep data synchronised between my site with
   Super Cache and Amazon CDN

 * Or maybe I’m getting a concept of CDN totally wrong. In my belief is that I have
   to upload my files somewhere in order for them to be distributed faster for my
   users. How does CloudFront works without S3?

 * No. There is no need to upload files.

 * It’s called origin-pull technique. In general, the assets / images are fetched
   on the fly from a website and then kept stored within CloudFront for delivery.
   There are people who have written in-depth articles on this and those articles
   can explain better than me. Please use your favourite search engine to find more
   about “origin-pull cdn”.

 * Thanks for the clarification! So I will probably get back to WP Super Cache and
   explore origin-pull a bit deeper. Thanks!
