E07: Plain-internet path vs Cloudflare's path
- Question
- Is a cache miss through Cloudflare faster or slower than pinging the droplet directly?
- Prediction
- Roughly equal: the Free plan has no smart routing, so the distance to Singapore dominates. Written before the first run.
- Method
- Globalping ping (16 packets) from each city to the droplet and to the site.
- Scripts
- experiments/e07-network-path
Results
Not run yet. The prediction above stands until it is.
What I learned
