It's instant because CloudFlare isn't changing DNS records, just where its pointers point to.

Look at it / try it.

Their DNS changes are fast even when the site is not being proxied through CF.
Yeah - the global propagation time from you hitting save, to it being live in all their POPs is impressive.

As a reformed Akamai DNS customer it is like time travel :D

I have, and I use it.

Thats not DNS, that is global load balancing.

Try using something other than HTTP over that FQDN.
