Performance where most of your traffic is.

WHY IT MATTERS

Most Nigerian traffic is mobile, frequently on constrained and metered connections.

WHAT HELPS

Cached assets served from a nearer location Compression, reducing bytes transferred Fewer round trips

WHAT MATTERS MORE

Image size. A visitor on metered data notices a heavy page directly, in cost as well as time.

Cloudflare delivers your images faster. It does not make them smaller on the free plan.

WHAT TO DO

Optimise images properly Enable Brotli compression Remove unnecessary scripts, which are frequently the slowest part Enable server-side caching

TESTING PROPERLY

On an actual mid-range phone, on mobile data, not a desktop browser resized.

Test with data saving enabled, which is how many visitors browse.

THE HONEST ASSESSMENT

For a site whose visitors are all in Nigeria and whose server is reachable, the geographic caching benefit is modest.

The compression and bot filtering are real. The largest gain remains optimising what you serve.
