We are evaluating Site search for clients based in Australia. Is the managed Site search (Swiftype) located in Australia? We would like to minimise latency.
Thanks!
Hey Kim_Pepper!
Thanks for joining the community. 
Site Search data resides in the US. But there are POPs around the world to help mitigate latency and reduce SSL roundtrip times. If you have a configurable VPN that can connect through Australia, your best bet might be to start a trial and do some testing to ensure performance is up to your standards.
Enjoy the day,
Kellen
Does that mean all requests go through a CDN?
Hey Kim_Pepper ~
It does -- all search requests go through a CDN. The CDN points-of-presence don't contain any cached data. Their purpose is to significantly improve secure connection time to the primary data centre, which is US based.
