Cloudflare pages very slow
Cloudflare has become very(!) slow for me.
Before I was just proxying my VPS.
To remove this from the equation I moved the site(s) directly to Cloudflare pages.
Unfortunately this did not help much.
Sometimes I am still looking at only 40-100Kbytes/sec for some images.
It takes so long that Lighthouse times out.
I tried from various locations.
What is going on?
How can I track down this down?

I replied to you in the discussions section but try using the Server timing api https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Performance_API/Server_timinghttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Performance_API/Server_timing
I must be missing something. I don't see the server timing header.
I dug a bit deeper with some
But on the response I don't see any server timings:
That said, with 380k/s it's currently 10x faster than the slow times I have seen.
