Does anyone know of an out-of-the-box solution for measuring regional latency? If not, please somebody make and productize it.

I'd love to know how my sites behave in Frankfurt, Mumbai, SF, Sydney, etc.

Ngl, a website where you input a URL and it checks the latency around the world would be interesting. Bonus points for tying to guess where it's hosted.

Is pretty interesting.

If someone set up a postman style clone, but I could drop-down and run it from a server in ${wherever} - that might be worth something...?

That is great, almost what I was imagining. I think it needs more places to ping from and a map in the webpage.

Suggestions aside, look at the difference between HN and Google (measured in milliseconds):

us-east: 39 HN, 40 GGL us-west: 128 HN, 118 GGL europe: 186 HN, 109 GGL tokyo: 291 HN, 143 GGL sydney: 405 HN, 303 GGL

Kind of interesting, did not expect Googles latency to be that high in Sydney.
