Bad server performance?

[XhmikosR]

So, I'm getting pretty bad results from Europe. Doesn't App Engine offer a CDN?

And generally, TTFB is pretty bad; this is static so it shouldn't be too slow, right?

This is what I get, with the cache disabled:

The first request is pretty fast, and the rest are all in parallel.

We only have a few App Engine instances, but I don't know where in the world they are. I'm happy to perform some simple settings tweaks to get better latency for other parts of the world, but don't have time myself to look into how to do that.

Do they offer a CDN? If not, have you thought about using Cloudflare for example? This should take care of the latency. The rest is a matter of cache control which if you haven't set in the origin, it will make things harder.

We should use a Google Cloud solution. Would you care to look if any features of Google Cloud make this easy?

I have never used Google Platform so I'm not sure if I'll be of much help. :/

I do see this though https://cloud.google.com/cdn/docs/
