Slow response times in different regions
I have a website which is primarily for people in Asia and uses Front Door. Microsoft say that content served through Front Door is hosted in POPs all over the world but Grafana checks show consistently bad performance in Asia.
The London ping response times are consistently low from London but around 150ms from Singapore, frequently spiking to over 500ms. While London is closer to where the origin is hosted, I wouldn't expect pings to go to the origin but be handled by Front Door? Is there any way I can verify that the site is being propagated to regional POPs in the APAC area?

Azure Front Door is architected to deliver content from the nearest point of presence (POP). However, confirming whether traffic is being served from APAC POPs requires validation against Microsoft’s official POP location list and careful monitoring of request routing behavior.
