API latency increased when "proxied" is turned on in DNS Settings

Hi, I was just benchmarking our APIs & found that there is an additional increase of 4-5 seconds in the API especially for our upload image call.

My server is located in AWS ap-south-1 (Mumbai, India) and after running the cdn-cgi/trace on our proxied domain I found that we are getting redirected to United States or East Africa.

fl=350f133
h=api.autodraft.in
ip=122.172.84.101
ts=1712829884.91
visit_scheme=http
uag=PostmanRuntime/7.37.0
colo=IAD
sliver=none
http=http/1.1
loc=IN
tls=off
sni=off
warp=off
gateway=off
rbi=off
kex=none


I've attached two images that shows the benchmark between proxied and non-proxied. Is there anything we can do about it as it affecting our app in production.
