Response speed in Spain is too slow, any solution?

Hi, we are a mobile development team that we have some customers with apps located in Parse. We have been doing some tests with your service and the latency is very slow for each transaction in Spain (2-3 seconds).
Currently, we are developing a new project for a customer with your platform, and we are testing the queries with poor latency.
Please, can you confirm us if there is a solution for this? I guess that the solution is to improve the account to a monthly payment.
Can you explain us how we can improve the latency speed with your service?
Thanks.

Could you try the following two commands and let us know the results?:

ping api.backendless.com
traceroute api.backendless.com

Hi Mark,

Thank your for your answer.
Here you are the results:

I think there is an issue with api.backendless.com from Spain, ping results are weird.

Many thanks.

King regards,

Hi Jose,

I just ran a test for our API endpoint from test machines in Europe. Below are the results. I suspect there must be something with your Internet provider:

You can run the test for “api.backendless.com” yourself using this tool:

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your response.

I will take a look with my internet provider.

King regards,
Jose

It’s about a second now:
Europe:

Worldwide:

http://support.backendless.com/public/attachments/27b2aec921599ccc5867b0bd319243d0.png</img>

I keep recommending Backendless to my clients (mostly based in the USA), but recently we’re facing the performance issues, so I wonder what could we do on our side.

Thank you for support!

We’ve run into this now today and yesterday here in Finland. It ran quite nice for a while, but now again it’s very slow. I have several users reporting slow response…
What is causing this? It’s not our networks, as they are fast (in Finland) and all other pages load immediatle.

Cheers Juha

Hi Juha,

I just ran a connection test from Brussels and am getting 108 ms response time for api.backendless.com. However, the only guaranteed way to get consistent response time as well as uptime is to get Managed Backendless. If you’re targeting customers in Europe, we offer Managed Backendless in our European data center.
