    It is all about the target market and where most of the website users are. Let's say that your sporting site serves European Market. It is better to be hosted on a server which offers lower latency to your targeted market in the first place. CDN is always a good option for secondary markets. We'd never tested CloudFlare for Video and Audio streaming, we know it works good for chafing static content. I have seen other CDNs build with the purpose to deliver video content, however.
