It's still pretty fast all over the world, because that total time is all you need. For most sites, that three seconds is just the start, ensued by several more seconds of downloading CSS, JavaScript, images, analytics, widgets, and whatnot.
Off topic, but is that service showing crazy slow numbers for "USA, Atlanta" for anyone else?

It is. Linode's Atlanta data center has been getting DDoS'd on and off since Sunday. This site isn't hosted on Linode, but could there perhaps be congestion in Atlanta from that attack causing general slowness?
Same thing here. Under half a second from every other location, 2.5 seconds from Atlanta.

oh my god think about all those users from Japan they are bouncing!
stop the presses for the entire company to have a meeting on how to shave off 300 milliseconds for the poor residents of Japan!
It's fast in China, which is saying something.
Still wickedly fast in Australia, that's about as far away as you can get.

Hosting on a single VPS is never gonna be very fast globally no matter what you pay your hosting. In fact our free plan on netlify would make this a whole lot faster...
