I have some clients that use Cloudflare, and others that use CloudFront. All of the CloudFront sites perform far better than all of the Cloudflare sites.

I don't care how many points of presence Cloudflare has if the performance is worse.

Do you have any data that supports your claims?


As I stated, they are client websites, which I don't particularly feel like disclosing. It's trivially easy to find benchmarks. [1] is old, but it gives you an idea of the stark differences that I have seen in practice.

Just curious, what metrics?
