I can think of two ways to investigate this.

Use tcpdump on the router to see the timing of the packets on the wg0 device.
How quickly do you see the ICMP echo get answered?

Use traceroute from the outside to find the ping times of all the hops on the path.
Is there a significant difference between the ping time on the edge of the router
and the wg0 device ping time?
