Cloudflare pages is much faster than Netlify
Written or Updated on September 02, 2022 🖋️
This blog was built on Gatsby and hosted on Netlify. One day I just came across the idea that Cloudflare might be faster, so I deployed exactly the same site, and Cloudflare won by a landslide.
Although I can’t say there is that much difference in Europe and USA regions, there is a considerable gap in performance in Asia. I live in Europe, so I’ve been using Netlify for about 3 years without ever noticing that Netlify is slow when accessing from Asia. I think the reason Netlify is slow for access from Asia is simply that their CDN nodes don’t cover much of Asia.
Below is the result of measuring TTFB using a service called SpeedVitals.

However, it is just a sample N=1. I recommend you do your own research for your website.
