Response time, last 24 hours
Response time by location, last 24 hours
| Location | Average response | Reached |
|---|---|---|
| Berlin 1, Germany | 542 ms | 11 of 11 checks |
| Falkenstein, Germany | 433 ms | 11 of 11 checks |
| Berlin 2, Germany | 542 ms | 11 of 11 checks |
Each check runs from all locations at once. A location far from the site’s servers answers later; that says nothing about the site being slow.
