Full website acceleration with CloudFront
Flare53
Keep your real website domain, such as www.test.com. Flare53 sits in front of it and sends origin traffic to a separate hostname such as origin.test.com.
Before you start
Important: Create your origin hostname first.
Your public website domain and origin URL must be different.
| Public website domain | www.test.com |
|---|---|
| Origin URL | https://origin.test.com |
Create origin.test.com in your DNS and point it to your current website server. Test that https://origin.test.com opens the website directly. It must not redirect back to www.test.com.
Create full website acceleration request
This is the domain Flare53 will protect and accelerate. For this version, use a subdomain such as www.test.com. Root/apex domain support will be added later.
This must be your real website server behind Flare53. Do not use the same value as the public website domain.
1. Prepare origin
Create origin.test.com and point it to the current server.
2. Validate origin
Flare53 checks that the origin opens and does not redirect back to the public domain.
3. Add SSL validation
We show the exact DNS record to validate SSL for your public website domain.
4. Change final DNS
Point your public website domain to the Flare53 CloudFront target.
