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 domainwww.test.com
Origin URLhttps://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.
