Since US holds majority of traffic to lichess...would it be better to shift primary server to that region so it gets better ping rates for majority of player base?

Alexa's metrics must be very skewed. Lichess is far more busy during the evening in Europe than during the evening in the US. I'd be _very_ surprised to find out that the US accounts for most of our traffice.

@lakinwecker it makes sense when you consider how much larger the US is in size than the European countries (Germany is #2, and England is #3,) but Europe as a region definitely has more people using lichess than the US, so switching the main server to the US makes no sense.
