Improve first load response time

[Livijn]

Whenever I load an image from a new region it takes about 2s to load. Is there a way to improve this somehow?

One idea I have is to just send a request to the URL from each region when a new image is uploaded. But then I need a proxy for each location. Or is there anyway to specify a header or smth to force a specific edge location in AWS?

This is a function of how CloudFront works. CloudFront caches on a per region basis. We are researching Origin Shield to improve cache hit ratio. We will update this issue once we make a determination.

Okay, sounds good. Thanks for your response :)

We use origin shield for over a year, does exactly what you ask for, caching in region

Hi @Livijn,
As an update, we've decided to include this option as a Deployment Parameter, which will allow you to choose a region to enabled Origin Shield in (defaulting to disabled). We plan to have this released in the next minor/major version of SIH.

Thanks for your interest in the Serverless Image Handler :)
