So I have a WordPress instance setup in AWS, the instance itself is already pointed to by a CDN. However I was wondering if it would be better to add a second CDN and create a S3 bucket that holds media files for the website. So in this case it would then have two CDNs, one for the website and one for media files that is called by the website. I personally feel this becomes a bit redundant as its already cached and distributed but I wanted to hear some other options. I’ll respond to as many as I can and answer any questions, thank you!

S3 isn’t a CDN – it’s simple a place for storing data, and it isn’t distributed. CloudFront is a CDN that works with S3. Unless you have a truly global user base, then just using an S3 bucket in your region is good enough.
Depending on your existing CDN, it might already have the capability to serve media files. Which one are you using?
