High (TTFB) time to first byte

[Prepcbse]

My website name:- https://prepcbse.in/

custom domain:- prepcbse.in

My website is failing google speed test

Initially i thought it’s due to my mistakes, i made my site as lite as possible, later i came to know that TTFB is majorly dependent on server and redirects.

My site do not have any redirect. As all of the visitor on my site are from india, i think that as your servers are in America due to such a huge distance i am facing TTFB issues.

Due to this i am loosing my rank in google search reasults please help me

as i use free netlify account can i use other CDNs like cloudflare, will it lead to suspension of my account. Please help me with this. I just want to improve my TTFB and reach and rank.

[Support Guide] What problems could occur when using Cloudflare in front of Netlify?

Last reviewed by Netlify Support - August, 2023 Note: We recommend not using both Cloudflare’s CDN (“Accelerate and Protect”, the orange cloud in their UI) and Netlify for the same site at the same time. Why? Read on! Netlify’s web service is not designed to work optimally with another CDN “in front of” our CDN. Proxying to our service is in general not supported and we advise you not to do it for best hosting results. Cloudflare has made similar statements that it doesn’t recommend this usa…
