Heres' a comment from reddit I would like to share

Cloudflare only caches about 30% of your requests for a major site. If you're small, they'll get everything, but every CDN has limits on how much of your data they keep on edge. As a free CDN, Cloudflare has pretty stringent limits. Also there's the issue of cache invalidation, which is a lot easier if the cache is something that you control totally yourself. Additionally, a local cache can help you save partial content, which is the next step in any 'make this site fast' strategy.

Hope it helps.
