The average load is 1.4 seconds to 1.9 seconds without CDN, I heard that CDN can speed up my website, but unfortunately it's not happening that way with CDN. I have KeyCDN service but when I integrate CDN and try to load my static files from CDN, the loading speed gets increased to 3.2 to 4 seconds.

Well, my question is how do I increase the speed of my website?
And what CDN service do you recommend? other than CloudFlare and KeyCDN.

This is because when you optimize a site properly, any third party resources will slow it down (like a cdn in your case).

The only reason you should want to use a cdn now is for extra features they may offer, like security from cloud flare & to have a cdn take some of the load off of your server cpu/memory/bandwith by serving up static content.

If you don't need any of those options, then you don't need a cdn.
