I moved my store from Shopify to WooCommerce a while ago (long story), and getting my Woo site to be as fast as it used to be has been the bane of my existence. After months of working on it, the site is *capable* of being fast, however, it appears to only be fast for about 60% of users who visit my site, and for the rest, it’s far too slow (reference image attached).
For some context, the site is hosted on a badass server with a great CDN, and we use FlyingPress as our caching plugin which seems to be one of the best. According to CDN reports, our cache hit ratio is \~80%, and most of the rest is dynamic (cart and checkout page). I’ve also rigorously made sure that all possible query strings are ignored so no matter where users are getting referred to our site from, they’ll get served from cache.
Nonetheless, the problem persists. I can’t imagine that this is normal, and I’m having a really hard time figuring out what’s causing it. Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions here would be very much appreciated!

I think you might be getting hung up on statistics a bit too much. Has anyone actually complained that the site or checkout process is slow?
Secondly I have no experience with flying press but anything that says automatic is usually never going to do the best job (at least not in my experience). Using something like Asset Clean Up or Free Soul Deactivate Plugins to manually disable/defer scripts/plugins that are unneeded per page/post/archive etc. is the way to really optimise your site. Flying Press may also have these features that you can still manually control.
Your CDN might be the problem. Try without it, try with a different CDN.
