How to check Solana RPC latency

RPC Fast test endpoints are protected with CloudFlare and geographically hosted at OVH in UK, London.

For measuring the latency of requests to the RPC endpoint, please refer to the link below for a guide.

If you are our customer, you can achieve even lower latency and maximise throughput to your dedicated node! 🎉

There are two basic steps to do this 👇

1. contact RPC Fast support and ask to disable CloudFlare protection of your nodes endpoint

2. order a server or VPS in the same datacenter as your nodes are located. RPC Fast is your primary contact point to pick up the same hosting provider as that which is hosting your nodes.

It may lower the latency between your workloads and RPC Fast dedicated nodes to 0.2ms.
