: Why is my server response time slow even with cloudflare? I've had a website for a while and I'm using the free Cloudflare CDN. My host is a fairly cheap shared one. I noticed that my website

Some questions to consider:


How is your caching model set?
Is priority set for Origin servers, to respect your aging headers, or to Cloudflare?
When you examine your HTTP request logs do you see items in the logs which should be served by your CDN?
Do you have cagey developers who are placing all sorts of dynamic parameters on static resources which are keeping them from being cached as static resources
Do you have too early allocation of an Origin-bound resource, such as giving out a default shopping cart, which forces a relationship with the longest path servers with the clients?


These are just a few off the top of my head. I know I was looking at a client's HTTP logs just a couple of days ago and found that their caching model was all messed up. They also had Cloudflare and couldn't have been getting a very high cache hit ratio from what I observed.
