Although I enabled caching, I put it to the test in gtmetrix with the slow opening of my site and found that the files in Cloudfront do not have caching time.

Two things to check: * Ensure that the cache settings in CloudFront have not been set to zero - it is possible to override the default action (see the next point). * CloudFront honours the cache headers as sent by the origin. So if the origin specifies zero (or little) cache time, that's what CloudFront does.
