Not sure how much details we want to go into, but it may be worth mentioning traces are sampled (like 1%)?

| ## Server-Timing header | ||
|
|
||
| Privacy Proxy includes a `Server-Timing` header in responses to help measure processing latency from the client side: | ||
|
|
||
| ```http | ||
| Server-Timing: proxy;dur=12.5 | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| The `dur` value is the processing time in milliseconds introduced by the proxy. Use this header as a client-side SLI (Service Level Indicator) to monitor proxy performance. |

This is already mentioned in http-headers.mdx, probably can remove. However, it is observability related... I'll let you decide.

All of cloudflare products are related, but this one is related less so than Privacy Gateway and WARP. Maybe remove?
