Cloudflare seems to be throttling my connection

I am hosting a nextjs app on cloudflare pages and was testing my app yesterday and I noticed that when visiting the site on my home network, it's very slow to process any request. Like 10x slower than it's supposed to be.

I tried:
  1. Connecting through a vpn
  2. Connecting through my phones hotspot
    both of these workarounds resolved the issue.
Based on that, I believe cloudflare is for some reason throttling speeds to my ip address.

I also tested my speeds at https://speed.cloudflare.com/ and it seems to confirm that suspicion. It seems my connection is throttled when connecting to any website that uses cloudflare.

The first image shows the speeds on the my home network and the 2nd are my speeds when connected through a vpn.
