title: Why is my amazon s3 slow?
body: <p>Is there a way to check that my files are already on the edge servers for my users to load from? Or does amazon s3 take time to spread your files around the world? How Long and can I receive notification about when? </p>
  
  <p>So after I uploaded a file, I immediately tested the load speed by asking users from other far away places(like places in Japan). They said that it was rather slower than my current hosting in the US. That's odd because Amazon does have an edge server in Tokyo so Amazon s3 should be faster? </p>
  
  <p>Before I created my bucket, I did set the region to be in the standard US. Is that why? If so, is there a way to set your files to work around the world? </p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your time. </p>
