Hi Krunal
As a delivery method works great and thanks I was half way through doing my own version and has saved me the hassle.
But I've always used AWS Cloudfront as my CDN and it works well but the process of adding products and pictures does not seem to work so well which I imagine in a generic form might be tricky any plans to work on this?
Thanks
Rob

Hi
The plugin works well in delivering the images from the CDN (in my case AWS Cloudfront).
I was testing the process to add a new image to a product using the admin screen in the nop instance and it failed here, not sure if there has been any implementation here as not really sure how it could work because no credentials are available to the plugin to write to the CDN.
Can you tell me the process you suggest to add ongoing images to the CDN?
The admin screen is trying to present the image from the CDN too.
Thanks
Rob

Hi, The plugin does not write any image or other resources to the CDN (this is popularly known as Push Zone CDN). So it is not working as you expect. The plugin actually working in very different way by utilizing Pull Zones.
Content Delivery Networks come in two flavors: push zones and pull zones. While a pull zone CDN is thought to be slightly less efficient than a push zone, the latter requires you to maintain and regularly update a master copy of your content on a separate server. As a result, configuring a push zone CDN is very complicated and almost always requires more storage space than a pull zone CDN.
A Pull Zone is what is needed to utilize the HTTP Caching type of CDN. The name Pull Zone came from the technique used, as the CDN will “Pull” the static assets from your website to cache it and serve it from CDN Network.
This means that when you request a resource from CDN URL, CDN will check for that resource in its cache. If its available, it will serve it from there. If it's not available, it will request the resource from your website, serve the request also cache it for future. The next request to that resource will be served from the CDN's cache.
You are not seeing new images being added to your CDN. This can be caused only if your origin url is not reachable by the cdn, or the image was not created on your website at first place.
Are you able to open that images directly from your website url? If so, there is something wrong with the pull zone configuration with your CDN provider. If not, the issue is either with folder permissions or something else. The starting point is to check the application error log to get an idea on what could be wrong here.
Moreover, if you are not sure on how to configure pull zones with Cloud Front, have a look at this resource http://anything-digital.com/blog/infrastructure/use-amazon-cloudfront-to-instantly-improve-the-performance-of-your-joomla-web-site.html which might be helpful to you.
If you're not able to fix it, pls feel free to update it here.
