Setup Cloudfront
Overview
Amazon CloudFront is a web service that speeds up distribution of your static and dynamic web content, such as .html, .css, .js, and image files, to your users.
CloudFront delivers your content through a worldwide network of data centers called edge locations. When a user requests content that you’re serving with CloudFront, the request is routed to the edge location that provides the lowest latency (time delay), so that content is delivered with the best possible performance.
You can use Cloudfront for redirect HTTP to HTTPS for Static Web Hosting S3, also implement WAF for more security.
