What is the issue you’re encountering

High Latency & Timeouts in UAE – Traffic Routed to MRS Instead of Local Edge. I’ve been experiencing major latency and timeout issues when accessing the site from the UAE over Wi-Fi. The same site works perfectly when accessed via mobile data or VPN. After some debugging, I’ve identified a pattern: Mobile-data access (works well) is routed through Cloudflare’s CDG (Paris) edge. Wi-Fi (Fails intermittently) is routed through MRS (Marseille). So So even though I’m in the UAE, my traffic is being routed through Europe instead of regional PoPs like DXB or AUH. I understand that the ISP plays a big role in this issue - yet, did anyone found a solution for it? I’m on the Free PLan. Would upgrading to pro helps by any means? Thanks!

Hello, @appdev!
There are at least two solutions for this kind issue. Both of them can be used as paid add-ons: Argo Smart Routing and traffic steering through Cloudflare Load Balancers. Thank you!

Many thanks for the above recommendations!
