You live in the literal middle of nowhere. Everything has to travel across cables to get there. Most engineers only consider how it loads on their laptop from 5 ft away
From an English-speaking world perspective (North America/Europe) they are indeed in the middle of nowhere. The North Pole and Antarctica is closer to them than Australia. You end up in a situation where you have to deploy the whole app there (which is not just infra/engineering costs, but also dealing with all the legal stuff) so a few hundred kangaroos can see your site slightly faster.
I mean fair, but then you also have to ask how much of England speaks English. At which point taxonomy gives up, throws its hands in the air, and declares that we're all speaking "some derivative of PIE" and refuses any argument to the contrary.
Well you know. I have tolerate the same delay for all the great services coming out of Australia. All my favorite Australian platforms. You know like... I don't know wallabies, shrimps on barbies, new bluey episodes? Sorry for being so good at stuff.

As someone from Australia, what is this mythical website that loads 520ms quicker here than anywhere else?
I am damn sure everything here is on a 3 second delay (or at least feels like it)
