No idea frate, though I use a wired desktop for the test, so wifi latency isn't a consideration.

I have 10 ms to 1.1.1.1 in RO/RDS on wired. I blame their idiotic pppoe.

I'd like to see a comparison among Netlify, Vercel, and Render.com as they all offer free hosting for static sites with similar usability. It's a growing service category (free hosting for static sites deployed from GitHub). Are there others (besides GitHub Pages) I don't know about?

Vaguely related: We use AWS S3 to poll for changes in a file from dozens of deployed devices regularly (polling is not the smartest way...). We get failures that the file header cannot be retrieved many times a week. Well, one could guess it's a connectivity problem of the device. Most are on cellular networks, but the problem also occurs from devices connected to one of the top US universities' network. The devices…

Interestingly, both are much faster than S3, which is a comparable service. Is Google doing some caching behind the scenes? These are both incredibly complicated services and describing what they do as “caching” would be too much of a simp…
