This website is hosted on both Vercel and Cloudflare Pages to compare the performance of the two.
Statistics of page load times are stored to compare averages between the two platforms.

Your actual performance

This is the performance of your first page load on this website.

Time To First Byte

000 ms

Time to First Byte (TTFB) is a foundational metric for measuring connection setup time and web server responsiveness in both the lab and the field. It helps identify when a web server is too slow to respond to requests. In the case of navigation requests—that is, requests for an HTML document—it precedes every other meaningful loading performance metric. A TTFB under 800ms is considered good.

First Contentful Paint

0000 ms

First Contentful Paint (FCP) is an important, user-centric metric for measuring perceived load speed because it marks the first point in the page load timeline where the user can see anything on the screen—a fast FCP helps reassure the user that something is happening. An FCP under 1.8s is considered good.

Vercel vs Cloudflare Pages Statistics

Average TTFB and FCP comparison between the two providers for this website.

Vercel

Time To First Byte

Vercel separates static assets like pages with Automatic Static Optimization and serves them directly from their CDN. Both TTFB and FCP here should represent the performance of their CDN as the first byte and contentful paint should happen based on the data coming from it. Server-side rendered pages are expected to have worse performance in those metrics as they have to be rendered at the data center of Vercel's infrastructure provider (currently AWS).

Cloudflare Pages

Time To First Byte

000 ms

First Contentful Paint

0000 ms

Cloudflare Pages is a static site hosting platform powered by Cloudflare's global CDN. Since it can only serve static assets, it has to use the static HTML export from Next.js. If this websites includes server-side rendered pages, or any pages that require compute to serve, Cloudflare Pages will only be able to host the static subset of the website. Cloudflare's CDN or edge network is believed to be faster and more expansive than Vercel's which should be its main advantage while this website remains static.
