Various embodiments implement a secure content distribution architecture involving a content delivery network (CDN). A web server system can encrypt a content file and store the encrypted content file in an origin data center. The web server system can store a decryption key for decrypting the content file. The CDN can fetch the encrypted content file after the content file is first requested by the CDN from the origin cache system. When a client device requests access to a website supported by the web server system, the web server system can provide a blueprint of a page of the website, a link to the content file in the CDN, and the decryption key for decrypting the content file. The client device can then request the encrypted content file from the CDN and utilize the decryption key to decrypt the encrypted content file.
