Geo-IP through Cloudflare:

    <script id="cflocation"> 
        window.CFLocation = {"lat":####,"lng":####};window.CFDsm=null;
    </script>
See https://developers.cloudflare.com/network/ip-geolocation/.

It's probably either just the lat long of the PoP or some magic based connection latency?


Cloudflare only gives you the country


No. https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/transform/managed-tr...


Then how did the website end up just about a mile from my house?
