You are running a media-rich website with a global audience from us-east-1 for a customer in the publishing industry. The website updates every 20 minutes. The web-tier of the site sits on three EC2 instances inside an Auto Scaling Group. The Auto Scaling group is configured to scale when CPU utilization of the instances is greater than 70%. The Auto Scaling group sits behind an Elastic Load Balancer, and your static content lives in S3 and is distributed globally by CloudFront. Your RDS database is already the largest instance size available. CloudWatch metrics show that your RDS instance usually has around 2GB of memory free, and an average CPU utilization of 75%. Currently, it is taking your users in Japan and Australia approximately 3 - 5 seconds to load your website, and you have been asked to help reduce these load-times. How might you improve your page load times?
