Cloudflare in “Faster website, more customers: Cloudflare Observatory can help your business grow”:
The generated report provides an overall performance score ranging from 1 (least performant) to 99 (most performant)
First try on my photography site: 100 🤷♂️😅
Joke aside, new tools to audit performance are always welcome!
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.
TIL AVIF transformation is only available on #Cloudflare for images below 2 megapixels… 😭

We need JPEG XL! 🙏
Updating webmentions on a static site
When I started using Webmention on this site (more than 5 years ago!), I was building the site on my local computer, and uploading the build result on my hosting with rsync. I've moved to Cloudflare Pages 6 months ago, which means webmentions where updated only when I pushed new content to GitHub. Here's how I fixed that.
To have different builds for #Cloudflare Pages previews, I found if-env and the CF_PAGES_BRANCH variable:
{
"scripts": {
"build": "if-env CF_PAGES_BRANCH=main && npm run main || npm run preview"
}
}
If you want to run a #GitHub Action after a #Cloudflare Pages build is done, you can use @WalshyDev's Action: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/cloudflare-pages-await
I hope Cloudflare Pages will get triggers like #Netlify: https://docs.netlify.com/functions/trigger-on-events/
Some tools transform URLs into links, but if the URL was inside parentheses, the link href sometimes contains the closing ), so the user gets a 404 error… 🤦♂️
Fix this on #Cloudflare Pages with a _redirect file:
/*) /:splat 301
Looks like some people now see my site on #Cloudflare:
I wonder how, as I switched the DNS yesterday evening, and all DNS checks still show propagation has not started yet:
Looks like the nasty bot finally stopped smashing my photography site! 🎉
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: #Cloudflare doesn't support the Vary HTTP header, which means the origin server can't do any content negotiation, for example send WebP or AVIF for a JPEG request…

#Fastly supports it, just saying… 😅
My photography portfolio is back on #Netlify for a few good features (faster builds, don't build PRs, proxies with URL rewrites, support for #Eleventy), but the CDN stays on #Cloudflare, much faster in Europe.
I just switched my photography site to #Cloudflare Pages Fast Builds beta.
The "Initializing build environment" tasks what taking more than 2 minutes before, it's now 2 seconds! 🎉
📣 Faster builds on Cloudflare Pages are here!
⚡Opt-in to our open beta in your project’s settings to test out the new infrastructure and shed minutes off your total builds time.

Trailing Slashes on URLs: Contentious or Settled?
I have mixed feelings about URLs without an extension (.html for example) or a trailing slash. It certainly comes mostly from 25 years of unexpected…

Performant A/B Testing with Cloudflare Workers
The problem with the current A/B testing tools is they construct the test on the client. They block rendering until they can determine which experiment…
My photography site is hosted on #Cloudflare, and they transform preload into HTTP/2 push. Great!
But why is my preloaded/pushed font downloaded twice then? 😅
Early Hints are now activated on https://nicolas-hoizey.photo ! 🎉
Thanks #Cloudflare @CloudflareDev ! 🙏
I don't see much difference in #WebPageTest though, the site is already pretty fast… 😅
I tried to follow @TheRealNooshu advice about #Cloudflare cache configuration for performance on my photography site, but it looks like much of my assets are still not cached:
Could it be because the cache TTL is lower than the delay between 2 visits?
That's it! After a while comparing Netlify and Cloudflare TTFB from France, I moved my photography site to the later.
Results are great!
Impact for users is obvious:
As I'm really disappointed by #Netlify WebPerf from France, I'm planing to move to #Cloudflare.
But it looks like they won't allow me to keep my DNS on #Gandi, this is really unfortunate… 😕
The really high TTFB from France with #Netlify makes me want to move to another hosting for my photography site, maybe #Cloudflare.
This is sad, I really like Netlify features. 😔
