It is now widely proven that the success of an e-commerce portal in terms of business and sales is directly proportional, in addition to the design of the UX, also to the loading speed and the times of response of the various pages of the site itself.
A slow and non-responsive online shop, built with WooCommerce, is equivalent to low sales and revenue, as your users may become impatient, abandoning navigation even before the web page fully charge.
On the other hand, a responsive, fast, and secure website attracts more customers, increasing website traffic, increasing your online store's total sales and revenue.
In this sense, the adoption of a content delivery network (CDN) aimed at improving the performance of your website is an ideal approach that, with a very contained and limited intervention , can bring a significant performance improvement as well as immediate.
Amazon CloudFront is the Amazon Web Services CDN service that helps improve the performance of your website by securely delivering applications, static and dynamic data, APIs, multimedia and video to customers around the world with high transfer speeds and low latency.
Thanks to the potential of AWS and the experience in creating digital solutions in various areas, OMNYS is able to activate in a few hours a Content Delivery Network (CDN) such as Amazon CloudFront on your WooCommerce site, allowing you to get an immediate return both in terms of accelerating the overall performance of your website and improving the customer experience and sales conversions.
What is Amazon CloudFront
Amazon CloudFront is a reliable tool for distributing your website content around the world.

With AWS, in a few simple steps, you can activate an Amazon CloudFront distribution on your e-commerce site to automatically deliver static content through these data centers or high-performance, ultra-low-latency edge networks, distributed globally.
In addition to this, Amazon CloudFront offers several features and optimization options.
