Cloudflare's Anycast network distributes DNS servers globally. This means DNS queries are routed to the closest available Cloudflare server, which can significantly impact DNS resolution time. When testing, try querying from different geographic locations to assess the performance of the Anycast network in your region. Be aware that Anycast isn't always perfectly consistent, and occasionally you might see slight variations in response times.
