Redirect with a second S3 bucket instead of second CloudFront distribution
May I suggest instead of creating two CloudFront distributions to create an S3 bucket for the naked domain and then apply redirect to www. I have not noticed at scale any performance difference taking the two bucket approach instead of having two distributions in regards to users from other continent accessing our website. I had suspected that CloudFront Distribution on naked domain would be faster but was surprised to find no difference.
Wildcard your domain
Amazon Certification Manager (ACM) supports wildcards domains. As websites grow you'll want more subdomains under SSL and you can save yourself some labour by creating a wildcard to begin with eg. eg. *.exampro instead of exampro.co
Force Traffic through CloudFront
When you have static website host AWS gives you a url to access that website directly to that bucket without the need of CloudFront. I recommend you do not allow access through these urls and force access only through CloudFront. The reason is you have better control over traffic and visibility on what people are accessing and the power in CloudFront to deny access to things you don't want people to have such as restricting based on GeoLocation.
To restrict access you need to create an Origin in CloudFront.
