If you utilize services of internet giants or condent delivery networks, ECS will likely give you the shortest distance, highest speed and may help with decreasing your _digital carbon footprint_.
If you utilize services of internet giants or condent delivery networks, ECS will likely give you [the shortest distance, the lowest latency, the highest speed](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_computing) and may help with decreasing your _digital carbon footprint_.
If those matter to you, you may also like to consider [increasing your minimum TTL to around an hour in a local server](https://blog.apnic.net/2019/11/12/stop-using-ridiculously-low-dns-ttls/).
