When checking the site via https://check-host.net/ it looks as though the site is always being served in the U.S.

We are base in the UK and want to check to see if the site is being served from a UK bases server (Or close by) - how can we accuratley check this

Thanks SJR

When I checked https://rogerbatesproperties.co.uk/cdn-cgi/trace

I couldnt really make much sense of it - I could see my IP address displaying in the data, but I am trying to find out the location of the server that we are connecting to in order serve the site

Have i missed something here? sorry some of this stuff is a little beyond me :slight_smile:

colo=SEA

The colo is indicates the location of the datacenter via an airport code. I’m in the Northwest US, so a Seattle colo makes sense to serve my visit. I expect yours will be different.
