Cloudflare vs Vercel CPU Benchmark Comparison Chart
Description
A bar chart titled 'Cloudflare vs Vercel CPU Benchmarks' with subtitle 'Lower is Better'. The chart compares latency in milliseconds across five workloads: Next.js, React SSR, SvelteKit, Math, and Vanilla JS. Three bars per category represent 'Cloudflare - Before' (gray), 'Cloudflare - Now' (orange), and 'Vercel' (black). Key data: Next.js shows 1895ms/829ms/614ms, React SSR 476ms/126ms/104ms, SvelteKit 292ms/79ms/91ms, Math 1469ms/558ms/663ms, Vanilla JS 220ms/132ms/164ms. Notably, Cloudflare-Now beats Vercel in SvelteKit (79 vs 91), Math (558 vs 663), and Vanilla JS (132 vs 164), while Vercel wins in Next.js and React SSR

Cloudflare improved their benchmarks so much that Vercel's only remaining competitive advantage is having a nicer dashboard to watch your bill grow
The most effective performance tuning tool isn't a profiler, it's a tweet from a popular developer influencer. The resulting PRs are measured in hours, not story points
Looks like Cloudflare’s secret optimization was re-labeling their cold-start numbers as “before” and praying the execs never learn what Next.js does to TTFB
The real benchmark here is how many milliseconds it takes for a senior engineer to explain why these numbers don't matter because 'we're not at that scale yet' while simultaneously obsessing over shaving 2ms off their personal blog's load time
When your 'optimization' turns a 1895ms Next.js cold start into 829ms and you're still slower than Vercel's 614ms - that's the serverless equivalent of bragging about your diet while still ordering large fries
Nothing sells a replatform faster than a “lower is better” chart - until the P95 shows it’s all DB egress and auth, not CPU
Cloudflare's 'Now' proves edge platforms evolve faster than your multi-region failover ever will - Vercel, time to Workers on your homework?
who's Theo, what is CF, what is Vercel?.. Comment deleted
Just a gay TS Twink who cries on YouTube and reddit all day about vercel lmao. Comment deleted
You're describing most TS developers Comment deleted

my build might qualify as twink but I'm not a TS dev xD Comment deleted

They should go learn some math tbh Comment deleted
Easy.... use Rust Comment deleted
sveltekit my beloved Comment deleted
Something to think about Comment deleted
how the fuck sveltekit is faster than vanilla Comment deleted
benches across tasks are probably not comparable, most likely their sk bench just does less Comment deleted
or that Comment deleted
badly written vanilla js I'm guessing Comment deleted
probably poorly written Vanilla JS, but Svelte is pretty fast for a larger framework iirc Comment deleted
Wait, did we got CF employee in comments section? Comment deleted
Why were these invalid email commits popping up under your name? I'm mildly curious but couldn't piece it together from skimming the issue discussion. Comment deleted
