Name the slow phase before touching config

Where's the time?

Break the request into user → edge → cache → origin. The delay lives in one segment; find it first.

Client-side signals

cf-ray (which colo), cf-cache-status (HIT/MISS/DYNAMIC), Server-Timing, and browser dev tools or curl timing.

Then go deeper

Once you know the phase, use internal tooling to see exactly what happened to the request and the trend behind it.
