- my position
- Cloudflare adds complexity
- DNS delegation
- cache rules to debug
- extra dashboard
- for small clients
- WordPress on Time4VPS shared
- 3K visits/month
- no global audience
- what I see
- "enable Cloudflare" is default advice
- but TTFB often WORSE
- extra TLS handshake
- cache miss = origin + edge latency
- my alternative
- optimize origin
- nginx fastcgi_cache
- lazy load images
- that's it

CDN help with peering? Local ISP connect to Vultr pop in Singapore, not to Time4VPS origin in Germany.

You test from where? In my country matters.
