I am writing to report a critical performance issue with my paid plan service. The problem of severe initial latency continues, making the service unreliable.

Latest Performance Data:

I have just captured a new network trace showing a total load time of 7.47 seconds. The breakdown clearly isolates the problem to your platform's connection handling:

• Initial Connection: Took an unacceptable 6.81 seconds.

• SSL Handshake: Accounted for 3.67 seconds of that connection time.

• Waiting for Response (TTFB): Crucially, once the connection was finally made, my application's response time was excellent at ~332ms.

Conclusion:

This new data proves that my application code is performing perfectly. The entire 7-second delay is happening before my application even receives the request. An Initial Connection time of nearly 7 seconds for a paid, "always-on" service is a critical failure.

Please investigate this with high priority. What is causing a 6-7 second connection delay on your platform for a service in the asia-southeast1 region?

Thank you
