Any idea why there's so much TTFB difference on #Netlify for main vs branch deploys?

Here is TTFB for:

  • Orange: https://nho-photo.netlify.app/
  • Blue: https://progressive--nho-photo.netlify.app/
  • Green: https://progressive-steep--nho-photo.netlify.app/

Branches TTFB is always higher than for the main branch

    Maybe, but nobody comes to visit either of these 3 sites… 😉

    Judging by this #SpeedCurve graph comparing TTFB from last 3 months to the 3 months before, it looks like TTFB has improved lately with #Netlify, while it has degraded with #Cloudflare:

    The graph is split in 2 with Jully to September 2023 on the left and October to December 2023 on the right.

    I'm currently using Cloudflare in front of Netlify, but I'm not sure it's worth it anymore. 🤔

    I still don't understand why using Cloudflare in front of Netlify allows for a much better and stable Time To First Byte (TTFB) than Cloudflare Pages or Netlify alone… 🤷‍♂️

    TTFB for static sites should always be very low.

    Why is #Dareboost reporting "7 resources has a non-consistent extension with its actual content" in this report where #Cloudinary images were proxified through #Netlify, but not on this one where they're not… 🤷‍♂️

    TIL: Configure an apex domain on #Netlify

    the apex domain can’t take advantage of direct DNS routing on a global CDN like @Netlify’s

    I guess I now understand why my photography site was slow from France…

    That's it! After a while comparing Netlify and Cloudflare TTFB from France, I moved my photography site to the later.

    Results are great!

    TTFB is much better on Cloudflare, and so are other metrics

    Impact for users is obvious:

    Users see the page and photo 750ms earlier!
