strange, my site

  * non AMP
  * standard HTML5
  * with pretty pic above fold
  * not hosted on a Google CDN or any other CDN
is still faster than the AMP, Google CDN, no lovely pic above fold page.

for me, your site loads in 350ms, vs. 65ms for OP's (base html response only)

That +300ms looks like a roundtrip time for geographical difference.

his site : 8 hops, 30ms. OP's site : 10 hops, 16ms.

only a slight difference. OP's site is just, well, very fast :)
