TTFB , network latency , all come into play. You can also disable your CDN temporarily and re-test again without to really see the difference. Every speed test tool shows you what are called HTTP headers also known as response headers. These contain important information about each request. We first tested it through Pingdom and get the following result. If you take a look at the example below, the first request is to the primary domain and this is loading directly from the Kinsta server.
Below that, you can see the rest of the requests are loading from the Kinsta CDN xxxx. If you look at the request to the Kinsta server , you will see a header called x-kinsta-cache. The name of this header might vary slightly based on your hosting provider.
The Kinsta CDN requests below that are the same way. Look for the header called x-cache. Again, the name of the header might vary slightly based on your CDN provider. To properly speed test, you need to see everything load from cache both from your WordPress host and CDN. When it is, the x-kinsta-cache and x-cache headers will register a HIT as seen below. This usually requires running your speed test multiple times.
We have found that two or three is usually the magic number. Some speed test tools like Pingdom also limit the time between each test usually a couple minutes. So you might have to run your speed test, come back later, run it again, etc. You can quickly scan down the test and look for the large yellow bar.
