Worker being placed in wrong location

For Workers & Pages, what is the name of the domain?

https://bitskinner.henke-edu.workers.dev/

What is the issue or error you’re encountering

Worker needs to reach a server in Frankfurt. It is not being deployed in Frankfurt, where the request has shorter latency. It is only being deployed in London regardless of Smart Placement on or off. A couple days ago it was being placed in Frankfurt, but something appeared to change, I’m using https://freeipapi.com/api/json to check where the worker is

Don’t use an IP location tool to try and find out where a Worker is, that will never be accurate. Cloudflare is an anycast network, its IPs can be used globally.

Regardless, the Worker will be invoked where the request came in unless you have smart placement in which case there will be a header indicating where it ran.

If you wish to verify the location, you should look at /cdn-cgi/trace where there is a colo field indicating the colo IATA.
E.g. https://bitskinner.henke-edu.workers.dev/cdn-cgi/trace
