Right now, you can just put Cloudfront in between. It's free, and takes maybe 5 minutes to sign up and adjust your DNS entries.
Of course relying on a provider that might cancel the free plan at any time is not ideal, but worst case you just have to revert your DNS and it's done.
- michaelmior 10y agoI assume you mean Cloudflare and not Cloudfront. While you could use Cloudfront, AFAIK there's no free option. (Aside from the usage you get as part of the AWS free but that is time-limited.)
- wjdp 10y agoAWS Cloudfront isn't free but costs pennies a month if you're not big.
- johndoe4589 10y agoI'm running a web app, isn't Cloudflare best for static / semi static content?
- helb 10y agoIt is, but it might work for your app, too – js/css/image caching at CF nodes helps a lot. Moreover, you can disable their cache/cdn features and use it only for SSL. They even have multiple modes, the "Flexible" one works even with no changes at your server at all. It obviously makes the CF<->server transfer insecure, but your users would still get a "green lock", if that's what you're after.
