One thing I’ve noticed is that the admin section warns that

> The server is configured to upload files to S3, but there is no S3 CDN configured. This can lead to expensive S3 costs and slower site performance. [See “Using Object Storage for Uploads” to learn more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/-/148916).

I don’t mind ignoring it, but we have secure media enabled which means it’s not possible to use a CDN. This message probably shouldn’t be shown on sites with `secure_media` enabled.
