Routebench

CDN benchmark across Cloudflare, Fastly, and CloudFront. Same bytes from each, every provider on its own apex with co-located DNS, real-user measurement from browsers.

DLbody transfer

cold = fresh TLS handshake. warm = reused connection, so DNS/TCP/TLS are 0 by definition. Successful fetches without browser Resource Timing are excluded from latency p50/p95/p99 and sample counts. TTFB = DNS + TCP + TLS + WAIT · TOTAL = TTFB + DL. Each row is a (provider, protocol) pair; bars end at that row's real p50 of total_ms, stripes show proportionally where the time goes. Bars scale to the slowest row in the ranking. "fastest" marks the lowest p50. p95 / p99 live in the detail table behind the toggles.
