5 Test your pixel

HOME > SNOWPLOW SETUP GUIDE > Step 1: setup a Collector > [Setup the Cloudfront collector](setting up the cloudfront collector) > 5. Test your pixel

Wait 10-15 minutes after creating the Cloudfront distribution before running the following test. (As it takes a little bit for the Cloudfront setup to complete...) Now try accessing your pixel over both HTTP and HTTPS using a browser, wget or curl:

http://{{SUBDOMAIN}}.cloudfront.net/i
https://{{SUBDOMAIN}}.cloudfront.net/i

If you have any problems, then double-check your CloudFront distribution's URL, and check the permissions on your pixel: it must be Openable by Everyone.

That's it - you now have a CloudFront distribution which can serve your tracking pixel fast to anybody anywhere in the world and log the request to Amazon S3 in your snowplow-logs bucket.

All done?

Proceed to you are now ready to setup a tracker.
