With Cloudflare, your geographical location significantly impacts resolution speed due to its Anycast network. Closer servers result in faster resolution. Google Public DNS's speed is generally consistent regardless of location, but may be slightly slower than Cloudflare in some regions due to its more centralized infrastructure.
