Cloudflare's extensive network of servers can both benefit and hinder speed test results. On one hand, it can accelerate data delivery by caching content closer to the user. On the other hand, the routing through Cloudflare's network can introduce latency, potentially leading to slower results compared to a direct connection to the ISP.
