That said, CloudFlare actually increased latency by a non-trivial amount, which caused me to abandon it. It may be better now, or it may have worked better on much larger sites, but my 256M slice & Django blog was faster without it.

- joshfraser 16y agoThe big difference is Torbit's focus on the other front end optimizations besides moving resources to a CDN. We compress CSS & JavaScript. Reduce HTTP requests. Optimize images. Preload content. And lots more. CloudFlare as I understand are focused on being a really good and easy to use CDN. And yes, the cloud approach means that we add about 200-300ms to every non-cacheable request. We think it's a decent trade-off since we usually shave off 10 times that when all our optimizations are applied.
