I have read differing opinions on the subject, but Im also wondering how much of this is affected by server location.
I have a VPS in NY, USA and im an Australian developer, VPS' are pretty pricey where I live so I use this as a playground/self hosting for dev etc.
I am in the process of ensuring I can optomize everything possible in my Centos 7 apache + nginx server.
But this is very concering, as I believe ping should only be around 180ms to 300ms delay, not 1 second+
What, if anything, can I do?
