Interesting post about page speed, but I have a question. When a website is online will there be a difference in page speed depending from where a person is surfing ex. if my website is hosted in Belgium will it load quicker form a computer in Belgium than from a computer in New York or an other city? So should you choose a hosting provider near to the place where most of your customers live?
