A local Cloudflare would definitely help with the TLS setup since that's their magic (fast SSL setup without requiring your private key).
Akamai could help, depending on the use case. If the content isn't cacheable, there's not much you can do. They do have a service that keeps open TCP sessions from certain POPs back to your origin, thus cutting down on TCP 3-way handshake time. Clients connect quickly, locally and then send the request because the origin connection is already established. That service is pretty expensive compared to CDN and they don't push it very hard. I used it when I ran an ad network where latency mattered (and could pay for this feature in an explicit increase in conversions and impressions).
