AWS CloudFront Support
AWS CloudFront support, troubleshooting and optimization.
CloudFront makes sites faster and cheaper, but cache keys, origin settings and invalidations can cause stale content and errors.
Common CloudFront problems we fix
The Amazon CloudFront issues our engineers see most often, and how we resolve them.
CloudFront 403 error (Access Denied)
Common causes are an S3 origin blocking access, a missing origin access control policy, geo restrictions, WAF rules or a missing default root object. We check the origin and distribution settings.
CloudFront 502 and 504 errors
These indicate the origin failed or timed out, or TLS between CloudFront and the origin failed. We fix origin SSL, timeouts and health.
CloudFront serving stale or old content
Cache TTLs and headers control freshness. We set cache policies, use versioned filenames and invalidate precisely.
Low CloudFront cache hit ratio
Forwarding cookies, query strings or headers fragments the cache. We build minimal cache keys and normalize requests.
CloudFront cost optimization
Price class, data transfer and request volume matter. We choose price classes, compress content and improve hit ratio.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clear the CloudFront cache?
Create an invalidation for the paths. A better approach is versioned asset names so invalidation is rarely needed.
Why does CloudFront show a 403?
Typically the origin denies CloudFront, the object is missing, or access is blocked by geo or WAF rules.
Can CloudFront front an API?
Yes, it can accelerate APIs and add WAF and caching in front of API Gateway or load balancers.
