CloudFlare's supposed acceleration has been a bit underwhelming.

I was diagnosing some problems with latencies and it turns out that CF adds a good 200 ms to my page loads (making them load at about 400ms instead of 200ms*), meanwhile, their own tests claim they're able to reduce my page loads down to a roaring 700 ms from the 1 second default.

* depending on location

Couldn't see much difference in UX from using CF rocket loader and also instant.page js plugin so I will probably get rid of those too

Your TTFB is pretty darn high for some reason, maybe a server side caching issue? Loading should be effectively instant otherwise, good job getting all critical assets inlined.

You could also mark the company images as `loading="lazy"` – though you may intentionally be eagerly loading all of those now.

yes the TTFB is probably because my application logic and database queries are not optimised at all. I guess that is my next step, I have to do some profiling to figure out why. Probably just slow db query/slow database
