Response time by location, last 24 hours
| Location | Average response | Reached |

| Berlin 1, Germany | 35 ms | 1 of 1 checks |
| Falkenstein, Germany | 200 ms | 6 of 6 checks |
| Berlin 2, Germany | 39 ms | 5 of 5 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.
