Hi team, 

I run a small modest website called whatsthesalary.com that has hosting from the UK, with Cloudflare active and most of the grunt is using AWS Lambda. 

 

 

 

The simple, single page website generates around 70,000 page views per month, so it's not a huge amount. 

 

 

 

As I had purchased the hosting account (Hostinger) while I was living in the UK, and that the majority of the traffic to my website is from Australia and New Zealand - would the website load faster if I move the server to one of Hostinger's Asia servers (Indonesia), or completely moving hosting providers to a AU/NZ one. 

 

Overall, I'm seeing if there'll be speed benefits in page load with moving the server closer.

 

Thanks team, this is totally out of my depth!

Looking through developer tools the page itself is pretty fast to load, although the longest time is "Waiting for server response" at ~600 ms

 

Your CSS and JS files seem to be cached.

 

Having a local server would probably half that time. 

 

It is not a fair comparison because our homepage is dynamic with a different server stack, but I have our servers in Auckland (colocated at Datacom), and with transit through Cloudflare, the "Waiting for server response" is around ~300 ms.

 

Without considering anything else, I would guess a gain of around 250 - 300 ms for your page load - but I am not sure this would be something perceptible.
