Welcome to FrontPup, your CloudFront companion.
FrontPup allows you to maximize your WordPress website using the AWS CloudFront Content Delivery Network (CDN).
<h3>REQUIREMENTS</h3>
You must be using the Amazon Web Services (AWS) <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/" rel="nofollow ugc">CloudFront</a> service to utilize this plugin.
<h3>FrontPup Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Non-intrusive Clear Cache (new) admin bar menu option, now you can clear the cache in any view without impacting other work.</li>
<li>Clear CloudFront Cache (creates an Invalidation request)</li>
<li>Utilize the new Cache Tags feature by WordPress post-type</li>
<li>Set no-cache headers for all pages (great for development or testing)</li>
<li>Set public and private Cache-Control headers for caching in CloudFront and Browsers</li>
<li>Set separate max-age (browser) and s-maxage (CloudFront) cache duration values</li>
</ul>
<h3>Non-intrusive Clear Cache (new)</h3>
The Non-intrusive Clear Cache admin bar menu option can clear your cache in any view without causing any disruption to your work. The Clear CloudFront Cache option is found under the “FrontPup” menu. Requests are performed behind the scenes. The returned status is added to the menu bar as an italics message in the menu. Feedback is reported with the icon to the left of the FrontPup menu option.
<h3>Turbocharge your WordPress Website with CloudFront</h3>
Using Amazon CloudFront in front of your WordPress website offers significant benefits by improving performance, security, and scalability. CloudFront is a Delivery Network (CDN) with over 750+ Points of Presence (PoPs) around the world plus over 1,100 PoPs within ISP networks. This highly optimized network makes it extremely efficient at delivering your website to your visitors anywhere around the world. “PoP” locations are designed to reduce latency by caching content closer to your site’s visitors.
<h3>Cache Tags by Post Type</h3>
The new Cache Tags in CloudFront paired with WordPress’s Post Types is a killer combination! If you have a lot of pages to your site and you only want to clear specific areas, this is the perfect option for you. For example, if you are using a custom post type for your shopping cart and you want to purge the cache for product pages but want your post and pages to not be impacted, this new feature is for you!
Performance
<ul>
<li>Faster Loading Times, static content (pages, images, CSS, JavaScript) is cached at “edge locations” around the world</li>
<li>Improved User Experience, Faster load times lead to higher user engagement, reduced bounce rates, and improved search engine optimization (SEO) rankings</li>
<li>Reduced Server Load, by serving cached content from edge locations, CloudFront minimizes requests to your WordPress website</li>
</ul>
