What needs to be done to check the website loading speed in different regions of the world?

Answer from AI
- Identify target regions. Gather data on the geographical distribution of users.
- Select testing tools. Use services that allow emulating load from different locations. Examples: WebPageTest, GTmetrix (paid plans), Pingdom Tools, Google PageSpeed Insights (limited features).
- Configure tests.
- Specify the website URL.
- Choose regions/locations for testing.
- Set parameters for simulated connection (device type, connection speed - cable, 3G, etc.).
- Specify the number of runs to obtain statistically significant data.
- Perform testing. Run tests from the selected regions.
- Analyze results.
- Compare full page load time (Fully Loaded Time), time to interactivity (Time to Interactive - TTI), First Contentful Paint (FCP), Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) for different regions.
- Study the request waterfall chart to identify bottlenecks (long resource loads: images, scripts, styles).
- Evaluate the use of Content Delivery Network (CDN) and its effectiveness in each region.
- Check which requests block rendering or interactivity.
- Identify causes of slow loading. Determine if issues are related to:
- Geographical distance to the server.
- CDN efficiency.
- Resource optimization (compression, caching, lazy loading).
- Server performance.
- Create a report. Present testing results with identified problems and recommendations for improvement.
- Re-test (regression testing). After implementing optimizations, conduct repeat tests to confirm improvements.
