Cloudflare and speed tests on different locations.

At a glance
hey guys,
i am testing the speed on the Webstudio Site https://www.festspiele-balver-hoehle.de/
The Google Speed test ist fine, the GTmetrix score is ok aswell. The strange thing is, with a US location, the Scores are around 90. With a EU location, it's about 65-70.
Cloudflare is activated aswell.

The clients are mostly in Germany. Is there a way to make the EU location better?

GTMetrix report for EU: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/festspiele-balver-hoehle.de/uzw6MN1e/
GTMetrix report for US: https://gtmetrix.com/reports/festspiele-balver-hoehle.de/EJ6YEc4o/

You're loading 48 fonts. Each one needs to be downloaded. This is a huge issue. Remove most. I usually use 1 variable font thats less than 100kb

also see this... it remove any downloading and load fonts instantly https://youtu.be/9E-qoNw1KD4
Fix that and rerun tests.. there will be a huge improvement. If you still want to improve after that, let me know when and I'll see what else can be done
BTW I see you're using Ani Motion! Sweet. Your accordions are choppy because there is a default margin. Remove the default margin on Item Content and it'll be butter
Thanks for the Tipps John πŸ™‚
i found out that the speed iusse is the dynamic Data loaded by Notion from the US AWS Cloud Servers.
I am trying now to find a way to get rid of this problem via Cloudflare caching, but i think i need to switch the CMS away from Notion..
Notion doesn't have european API endpoin?
also make sure you run multiple times the tests, they are not always accurate
yeah, i think so.

Did multiple tests on multiple providers.

i searched for different Server Locations but all i found was Forum posts with the same problem. Only AWS Server in the US.

But the Cloudflare cache for dynamic Data solved the problem in my case. But depending on my other struggle with the rich-text format i think i need to switch.

Notion IP addresses and domains
Notion is solely hosted in US-West-2 (Oregon). Click here for the complete list of Notion affiliated IP addresses.
only thing that's left is to cache very stronly
would mean publihsed changes are visible after that cache expires
