  Hello,

  Currently my wordpress.com site is based in San Francisco California. My target audience however is based in Asia and it doesn’t allow for the fastest loading speeds. Is it possible to change the server location to Singapore for instance?

  Thank you.

  Hi there,

  We have servers in data centres across the world, and visitors to your site connect to the data centre closest to them, not the data centre closest to where you live. The fact that you are based in San Francisco doesn’t mean you site’s files are hosted on a server in San Franciso.

  If visitors to your site from Asia are experiencing slow loading times it more likely points to a problem with their ISPs.
