Round-trip time from your browser to every DigitalOcean region — 11 of them, 5 in North America, 3 in Europe, 2 in Asia, 1 in Oceania — each against the speed-of-light floor its distance sets, so a slow region is visibly far rather than badly routed.
The Spaces endpoint in each datacentre is what gets timed here, because the ICMP ping you might reach for is impossible from a browser — a page cannot open the kind of socket an echo request needs. The clock starts before the request and stops the moment the response head comes back, which is all a round trip is.
Spaces object-storage endpoints answer per datacentre, timed blind — no CORS headers.
The first request of a sweep is discarded — it pays for DNS, TCP and TLS — so every sample after it is essentially one round trip, and the reported figure is the fastest of them.

Prefix counts come from DO’s own published feed. Each region links to its distance, its physical floor and the endpoint used to time it.
Open the instrument, select DO, choose regions and run a sweep. Nothing is pre-selected and nothing runs until you press the button.
