    Wow, I've been using Cloudflare Argo Smart Routing for almost 3yrs (coming this May 2022)!

    Looking at latest stats my 2 day Argo metrics look to fluctuate between 55-70% Argo improvements for average server response time or Time To First Byte (TTFB) :cool:

    From Cloudflare Analytics Argo dashboard - average improvement from 349ms to 140ms for 64.5% of my requests for ~59.89% average server response time (TTFB) improvement :D

    From Cloudflare Argo Analytics via Cloudflare GraphQL API and my custom API query script :) Allows me to break down Argo smart routing metrics per Cloudflare datacenter - greatest improvements for datacenters farther away from my server origin location with least improvements for datacenters closest to my server origin location as expected.

    To accompany my Cloudflare Argo server response time (TTFB) metrics at https://community.centminmod.com/th...art-routing-in-action.17517/page-2#post-91555 here's the corresponding Google Analytics recorded average server response time metrics using Google Datastudio custom dashboard to show also the 90%, 99% percentile server and max server response time trend lines in orange, red and black respectively. The read marker line denotes May 2019 when I enabled Cloudflare Argo smart routing and as you can see the noticeable dip in server response times after May 2019 :D

    This is just for the forum community part of my site though broken down by desktop and mobile traffic with control filters for page URL, country location and traffic source.

    Centmin Mod blog site was revived after May 2019 so Cloudflare Argo measured improvements aren't available. But here's my current Centmin Mod blog site's Cloudflare Argo smart routed average server response times via Google Analytics/Google Datastudio custom dashboard :D

    For most folks it wouldn't be worth it. Still I am using Argo since I started this thread :D
