Mark, You’ll find that Akamai’s algorithms will retrieve the content from the origin and keep it at varying stages of “warm” in their caches based on demand. I’d be pretty unimpressed if I was a US / EU journo trying to get Australian news from a webpage 500+ms RT away. - Tim > On 16 Jun 201

Might be of use to some of those here, and for the rest for curiosity. https://urlscan.io/ Loads a website specified, and then breaks it down into resources accessed, right down to the IPv4/IPv6 addresses used and where they're geographically located. I think an interesting example is www.theage

I concur. Providing an alternative solution is only useful if there is actually a valid alternative. If there is not, you're best to just say it. If an idea is stupid, state not only that it is so, but state why. And don't sugar coat it either, sugar coating just gives wriggle room to someone try
