 * Hi,
 * When all W3 caching options but the CDN are enabled, the page loads fine.
 * [http://www.chasebot.com](http://www.chasebot.com) –> OK
    [https://www.chasebot.com](https://www.chasebot.com)–
   > OK
 * but as soon as CDN (Amazon CloudFront) is also enabled, https access to the site
   breaks the whole site formatting, while the normal http access remains ok
 * [http://www.chasebot.com](http://www.chasebot.com) –> OK
    [https://www.chasebot.com](https://www.chasebot.com)–
   > Breaks the page
 * How can I fix this problem just in case the user uses https for accessing the
   site?
 * Many Thanks,
    Hooman

 * Did you try to enable the option “Disable CDN on SSL pages”?
 * Your site seems to have 9 CSS files. You may want to check what actually breaks
   the home page and exclude it specifically or troubleshoot the root cause of the
   issue.

 * Thanks Poti, actually around teh time you responded, I had my CDN off in order
   to update the website 🙂 I recon you couldn’t experience the problem.
 * Nonetheless by activating “Disable CDN on SSL pages”, it works now like a charm.
 * It is a bit of a shame that CDN doesn’t work with SSL. Is it intended or part
   of a bigger configuration or something I haven’t done yet?
 * Thanks

 * Not sure, where things went wrong. There are multiple things that can go wrong,
   a bug in the plugin, a mis-configuration in the Amazon CloudFront, etc.

 * A bug submission form submitted from the support tab of the plugin is needed 
   to help here.
