title: AWS S3 + CDN Speed, significantly slower
body: <p>Ok,</p>
  <p>So I've been playing around with amazon web services as I am trying to speed up my website and save resources on my server by using AWS S3 &amp; CloudFront.</p>
  <p>I ran a page speed test initially, the page speed loaded in <strong>1.89ms</strong>. I then put all assets onto an s3 bucket, made that bucket available to cloudfront and then used the cloudfront url on the page.</p>
  <p>When I ran the page speed test again using <a href="http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this tool</a> using all their server options I got these results:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Server with lowest speed of : 3.66ms</p>
  <p>Server with highest speed of: 5.41ms</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>As you can see there is a great increase here in speed. Have I missed something, is it configured wrong? I thought the CDN was supposed to make the page speed load faster.</p>
