Hosting media on S3 will increase the wating time (TTFB)

[saifobeidat]

I am using this amazing package to host my website media on S3 bucket, everything went okay except the performance of retrieving images has become slower. I did a quick comparison, by measuring the loading time retrieving a local image and retriving the same image using S3 and Virtual Path Provider.

The comparasion:

Retrieving image from S3 bucket

Local Image

I investigated for this issue, and I found S3 provides another EndPoint which is faster : something.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com, but I didn't know how this can be used and configured, because the documentation here says I don't need to add Bucket HostName since I am using Virtual Path Provider.

Please advice for this.

It would be relatively easy to enable the S3 Accelerate endpoint. We'll have to add a new web.config key for it as S3 Accelerate isn't enabled on buckets by default.

I'll do some testing in the next week and look at adding this.

Also sorry I ignored this for 2 months - I didn't get an email notification and I don't check Github that often. Will try to check more regularly!

Any thoughts on this? Could it locally cache from the S3 to speed this up?
