Hi there,

I operate a website that gets a decent amount of users in New Zealand and Australia.

It's a single page website and gets decent speed and I have the option to move the servers to Singapore or India. Additionally, I have it cached via Cloudflare.

I know ideally that it should be hosted in one of the Oceania servers but my hosting provider does not offer this and I'm not in the position to move my hosting.

Would moving it to one of the Asian hosting servers improve my speed?

Being a single page, moving to a new provider should take 5mins.... you tied into a contract ?

Singapore would probably give slightly better performance.

I paid up front so tied in until 2025.

The content of my website does not change so wouldn't Cloudflare just cache the content on its CDN? So would changing the website matter?

I get decent speeds on the website and was wondering if it could be improved more.

Cloudflare does not cache html by default. You have to create a rule for that. Create the rule first and see how it performs.
