Well yes CloudFlare could cause it by “rating” your IP wrong.
CloudFlare tries to serve every request from the nearest POP, but is also respecting costs. So most probably in germany you could be served from FRA the fastest way but instead you get served from AMS becasue its cheaper for CLoudFlare.
But getting served from IAD for me indicates there is something wrong with CloudFlares “tracking” of your IP. But I can not tell you more. Pls verify that this Image is getting served from IAD:
Sorry I can not resolve this issue for you. But may others can.
Are you willing to provide your DNS Service?
Are you using your standard DNS Server? CloudFlare DNS Server? Google DNS Server? Or any other DNS Server?
Little other tipp:
if you use a subdomain for out-source static assets to another sub-domain. Pls do not use Cloudflare at the subdomain for static assets because the reason for serving assets from another domain is to have a cookiefree domain. Using Cloudflare never is cookiefree.
So just using the maindomain for serving static assets is 100% fine and in this example even faster as the client does not have so resolve another domain
This is a good point, I am not sure why it is the way it is currently but I’ll pass it on.
Unfortunately changing my DNS settings back to the ones provided by ISP and clearing the cache in windows and chrome has changed nothing, it is still being served from IAD
Oh, it’s that way as preparation so we can use a CNAME entry to redirect that subdomain to a CDN later on. I don’t think that’s possible with a normal path.
You will get served based on what Cloudflare is thinking about where you are, based on your IP and on the route it would be served the fastest. But thats clearly wrong here.
Can you also provide your TTFB here?
But in fact noone will be able to help you here in the forum… sorry. Your Domain have to be re-routed. Just the support is able to do so.
I have to slightly correct you here. Cloudflare does limit some POPs to specific plans in some cases due to costs or load, but the actual decision to where you go is done by your ISP. It may be some issue cause by the IPv4 network compared to IPv6, given that the problematic website doesn’t have IPv6 enabled (why?).
