Not to mention pings really aren’t the same thing at all, a whole 32bytes of data.
My ping rates to the German server are fine, but that means very little in relation to the page loading (not creation) times.
Looking at my first image it shows one IP address and +1, so it may be that the +1 is another server located in the USA. If this is correct it could account for the differences, but I have no idea how they would synchronise/mirror these servers or if this mirroring would have any impact.
You don’t need to be a mind reader, I did state in my first post in the thread that I’m in the UK. Though I prefer to state that I’m from Scotland rather than the UK.
