Is there any way to serve the joomla /cache folder from s3 with your s3 component? Would it work? Would it make the site any faster? Obviously the cron would have to run more often and the s3 cache time would have to be set correctly but other than that are there any issues?

I also found an artlce on the web about how you utilize AWS, is there a guide or article that you can refer me to optimizing the use of AWS with Joomla? Thanks.

Hello Prophoto,

Regarding your questions.

– Yes, you can enable any folder in your joomla site (included cache folder) in sync profile settings, so static files in these folders will be uploaded to S3 bucket and served from CDN. Cron job should be enabled to make it uploads the file automatically or you need upload files manually in back-end.
– CDNs are usually geolocated, so the requests will be served from a server nearer to your visitors typically. this is the way that CDN helps your site load static files faster.

– For reference, you can find some helpful information in this slide
