Why My Custom Domain on Cloudflare Routes to the Wrong Colocation ?
I have a free Cloudflare plan for my domain and I’m using both Pages and Workers. On Pages, I have set up the custom domain
deplit.tech, and on Workers I added the route *.deplit.tech.
When I visit - https://deplit.tech/cdn-cgi/traceor https://<subdomain>.deplit.tech/cdn-cgi/trace it shows the colo as SIN (Singapore), even though I’m in India.
By contrast, visiting https://unpkg.com/cdn-cgi/trace shows DEL (Delhi), and using my Pages app’s default URL: https://deplit.pages.dev/cdn-cgi/trace shows BOM. This mismatch forces traffic through farther data centers and increases latency for my domain.
Why is Cloudflare routing my custom domain to the wrong colo?
Tried domains with COL from the same device and same network
