CloudFront's Origin Shield reduces load on your origin server by caching frequently requested content at a single edge location before distributing it. This can significantly improve speed, especially for dynamic content. Cloudflare's caching is more distributed, which can be faster for geographically diverse users but might not offer the same origin protection as CloudFront's Origin Shield.
