Replication of The /api Endpoint Up to 80% Faster Response Time for Europe & APAC available for everyone on the 26th Feb
Blog post from Prismic
Prismic is enhancing the speed and reliability of its API by replicating the /api endpoint in Europe and Australia, effective February 26, 2022, aiming to reduce response times for users in Europe, Asia, and Oceania by over 60%. This update is driven by the need to overcome network latency due to the company's main servers in the United States, which already provide fast response times for local customers. The change will benefit users by improving website speed and optimizing SEO performance, with tests showing more than a 65% improvement in response times. Users who do not use the tag array in their /api requests will experience a seamless transition, while those who do are advised to check Prismic’s community forum for guidance on necessary adjustments. The update is anticipated to significantly enhance the rendering speed of products by reducing the lead time in content queries.
