Cloudflare vs CloudFront: How They Work, Plus Which is Best For You

1

CloudFlare

When someone visits your site, Cloudflare will take your static content and store your content on Cloudflare’s network of servers around the world. Then, for future visitors, Cloudflare can serve up that cached static content from the Cloudflare edge server that’s nearest to each visitor.

Amazon CloudFront

Amazon CloudFront, on the other hand, is more of a “traditional” CDN. You won’t need to change your nameservers. Instead, you can either have CloudFront automatically “pull” files from your WordPress site’s server onto CloudFront’s servers, or you can use a plugin like WP Offload Media Lite to “push” files into an Amazon S3 bucket and have CloudFront serve them from there.
