What might cause that - is that CloudFlare or my webhosting?

Create a page on your site that has no images, isn't on CF and has only "Hello There" text, and test it.

You can also turn CF off and test your site - this can be educational in showing you CF really doesn't do, jack for you.

Even though it's just a savings of 3kb, I would still grab the third image shown here, rename it to match what's in the file system, and upload to overwrite.

You're looking pretty darn good on the only test parameter I use, Dulles VA on fast cable connection, IE 10. Here's that result from just now.

That lone F grade is there only because of the image I suggested you change out, above. Do that and this F becomes a A grade.
