I also moved to netlify (from a gh-pages/cloudflare setup). And while I'm a huge fan, and loved the process, I am interested that google crawler seems to have found it a lot slower.
I've SSL enabled (as well as HSTS) And yes, the initial redirect seems to take a while. But equally the very first page request from a site is actually quite slow I feel. Considering it's a static page of less than 4kB, I'd expect it to be a bit snappier...
I've other reasons for trying netlify, and I'm not too bothered about the slowdown (my site has bugger all traffic tbh), but I would like to get to the bottom of it.
