Statistics from one of my websites running Argo show a 16.73% percent improvement for 32.3% of web traffic routed through Argo.
For my Google Cloud Washington based server, I see 5-15% improvement for some traffic from the EU and US East Coast and 15-30% improvement some traffic from Asia, Africa, and South America. (all according to CF statistics)
I don't understand the statistic. Is that the best 32.3%? Is the worst 32.3% 16.73% worse?

Traditional VPNs are strictly better than Warp+, as far as I can see, but the free version of Warp is a generous offering for users who would otherwise not be using a VPN.

"Over-the top content provider websites" most likely include Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, etc.

If this is the case, then Warp would not be helpful for evading speed caps for video on mobile data plans.

Based on speed tests, it doesn't look like Warp is bypassed for video content.
1) Communicating with insecure websites (HTTP instead of HTTPS)
2) Using unsecured wireless networks (e.g. Wi-Fi at a coffee shop)
Beyond these two cases, is there any advantage to using Warp? Does Warp provide any benefits for email (secure IMAP/SMTP), file sharing (BitTorrent), or other protocols?
