Cloudflare's DDoS protection can sometimes introduce a slight delay as it analyzes and mitigates malicious traffic. While this is generally minimal and beneficial in preventing attacks, it's a factor to consider when evaluating performance, especially during periods of high traffic or DDoS attacks. Proper configuration minimizes this impact.
