While beneficial, using Cloudflare DNS queries does introduce a slight delay as the request must traverse Cloudflare's servers. However, this delay is typically minimal and outweighed by the performance and security benefits. It's important to understand the trade-off between latency and the advantages provided by Cloudflare.
