Hi,
Using GTMetrix to monitor a clients website relevant to Vancouver, BC. Testing via GTM from the default location of Vancouver. CF apparently has a node in Vancouver which should be excellent performance-wise for users working and living in that area, so I’m confused as to the reason why CF always ignores it and always fetches content from its Seattle location instead. It’s the same with any website I test.
By comparison, if I test any site or the same site from London via GTMetrix, it shows it is using the London Heathrow node which makes more sense. Is the Vancouver location broken?
Would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thank you.
