han and i had a long back and forth about saying "faster page loads" since we improved TTFB rather than content download timešŸ˜œ. you can tell who won lol. we shipped a new solution on top of Cloudflare for this release which reduces TTFB (time to first byte) in the P75+ case by getting our cache hit rate to 98% from its previous 76% across all sites we host our pages are still heavy and we have much work left to do there, but all of the loads at least feel fast now since the TTFB P99 is now <100ms. also, Vercel shipped a shield solution which replicates what we scaffolded together ourselves on Cloudflare and we are going to be both trying that and yapping about out it in our eng blog soon!
