Cloudflare is Slow
This is just a text... it took ~5 seconds to load (from Cloudflare's servers, not mine), if I clear the cache with Shift + F5 the image (my server) also takes a while to load and it loads little by little.
Is there any problem going on right now with Cloudflare?

This image loaded after 15s... if i use the server original url (without cloudflare) it loads instantly
what does the cdn-cgi/trace show? (make sure to omit your IP)
You're in Portugal connecting to London, shouldn't be that bad. Do you have a link that you can share, or can you share the response headers on a slow request?
https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/ is the public status page btw, no known issues in that regard
Cloudflare Status
Welcome to Cloudflare's home for real-time and historical data on system performance.
Everything's working now, it's loading quickly, but if it happens again I'll post the response headers here.
It's happening again
is it only slow when cf-cache-status != "HIT"?
It happens on "miss", "hit" and "stale"
nah I mean on the
CF-Cache-Status header, not Cache-status/netlify's statusit says revalidated
hmm means it fetched from origin, more difficult to debug without url though. Most likely you -> cloudflare is fast, but cloudflare -> origin isn't. You could try
mtr if on your system or tracert (win) / traceroute linux with your site name, but if it's only sometimes it'd be hard to see with traceroute alone

Thank you.
I saw another topic on netlify, they recommend using the plugin "purge cloudflare cache on deploy", but when creating the API Key i don't find the option to purge the cache.. i only have
cache rules with edit permissions and it doesn't work
zone -> cache purge
wouldn't fix your issue with slowness though, that's something else
