Server close to Belgium

Website, Application, Performance

Hi,

My website loads quite slow because it’s hosted in America, while I live in Belgium (Europe). It should automatically use the closest server, but it uses America for my site (www.hippiehooray.be), which makes it load very slow. Can this be changed?

Thanks!

Correct, you are going via the French datacentre.

But in America is only takes 2 seconds to load my page, and 4 seconds in Belgium. Is that correct?
Thanks

I dont know what you exactly mean by that. But your site is loaded from the “local” datacentre. The bigger issue is that you embed a lot of resources from third party sites (which do not go through your domain and Cloudflare) and that even your own resources do not seem to be cached (caching status is DYNAMIC) and hence will always be requested from your server. This is most likely because of caching headers you send and which instruct Cloudflare to ignore the cache.

I’d recommend to use the search here first as these topics have been addressed more than once.
