Inconsistent performance results between Cloudflare and Webpagetest

Hi,

I installed Nginx as a reverse proxy to work with Apache. Then I try to test and compare the performance of Nginx and Apache.

One performance data come from “Analytics & Logs > Performance > Average Response Time without Argo(Last 48 hours)”. This is the response time between Cloudflare and my server.

The result:

Apache: 810ms
Nginx: 1220ms

Another performance data comes from Webpagetest. I use the following script to perform the test for Nginx:

setDns www.sample.com ##.##.##.##
navigate https://www.sample.com:443

and the following for Apache(Apache listens to port 8443):

setDns www.sample.com ##.##.##.##
navigate https://www.sample.com:8443

Then for most of the cases, Nginx will be better than Apache.

So the performance data from two sources are inconsistent. Why?
