Static Site Hosting with CDN & HTTPS

A fast static site on a CDN with a custom domain, HTTPS and caching

1-2 weeks build

Overview

Everything between a folder of HTML and a site the world can load quickly. The kit deploys the same site two ways, to S3 behind CloudFront and to Netlify, covers DNS records and HTTPS certificates for a custom domain, and sets cache headers so pages stay fresh while assets are cached for a year. Both routes fit free tiers, and a student-pack domain or the host's own subdomain is enough.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Two deployment routes compared: S3 with CloudFront, and Netlify
  • 02Custom domain with DNS records and automatic HTTPS
  • 03Cache headers tuned separately for HTML and hashed assets
  • 04Push-to-deploy with cache invalidation from GitHub Actions
  • 05Lighthouse reports before and after the CDN in the report

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Site build

    A small static site with fingerprinted asset filenames.

  2. 02

    AWS route

    Private S3 bucket served through CloudFront with an origin policy.

  3. 03

    Netlify route

    Git-connected deploys, previews and header rules.

  4. 04

    Domain and TLS

    DNS records, certificate issuance and HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects.

  5. 05

    Caching

    Cache-Control strategy, invalidation and checking response headers.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain how a CDN edge serves a request and when it misses
  • Defend your cache lifetimes for HTML versus assets
  • Demo a push going live on the custom domain over HTTPS
