[Argo Smart Routing] not efficient cdn location.
I've had subscribed Argo Smart Routing for 7 months (since Aug, 2023).
I'm very happy because my website is served from CGK, the most visitors for my website come from.
But, recently, i don't know why, it's suddenly served from SIN which is too far even with JOG & DPS.
Is there a way it served back from CGK?

The colo in the cdn-cgi trace has nothing to do with argo smart routing.
The trace shown there just shows which datacenter you are connecting to which will be whatever datacenter your ISP routes you to cloudflare.
For me a trace shows
DFW which is Dallas Texas and would be the closest data center to me.
Argo Smart Routing will optimize the path take from whatever datacenter your user connects to and your origin server.(Argo smart routing will give you Enterprise like inbound routing/different proxy ips, not that it matters because they can't do much about being routed to a diff place/ISP still has control)
thank's @Unsmart | Tech debt @Chaika
it's back served from CGK. :poggies:
lol we didn't do anything! but yea routing stuff like that is just going to change, could have been a link down or other stuff
Short of an enterprise plan, Argo Smart routing is the most you can do
you did, because you replied my thread. that's a sign there's still people caring me, at least.
sin instead of cgk doesn't sound that egergious. Otherwise some routing issues can be fixed by contacting your ISP (which can change things and/or contact CF) or the other way around. It depends on who's doing things. Routing is a fun thing, your ISP ultimately has final control/overrides over it, and CF can "suggest" things and announce/stop announcing in specific locations which can impact what your ISP can pick (and ultimately reroute things)
it's back served from SIN again. 😢
so, is my ISP routing with different routes for all websites (listed on my previous comment) above?
This looks like a traffic manager shift. When a specific datacenter has a lot of load traffic from lower plans may be shifted to another datacenter.

so, i need to increase my plan to increase possibility of my website to keep served from my visitor's closest datacenter (i.e. CGK, JOG, DPS)?
