What is the issue you’re encountering
Pagespeed is slower than direct hosting. Probably because of using POP in FR.
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
We have a business currently serving Sweden but are planning to expand into the rest of Nordics and Europe.
We have gotten suggestions that we should take advantage of Cloudflare, so I set it up.
I ran performance tests (PageSpeed Insights) before and after:
Host Mobile: 64 - 70
Host Computer: 95 - 96
Cloudflare Mobile: 43 - 59
Cloudflare Computer: 59 - 69

Which seems that it is using a POP in France, is that what makes it slower? We do have Cloudflare POP’s in Sweden why isn’t it using that or is that not any faster?
This is a WordPress Site and I’m reading that I should use APO, would that make any difference?
Any input would be appreciated as Cloudflare is totally new to us🙏
