You can ping the endpoints and see where the servers are, in addition to difference in naming, app, API, domain, etc.

I don't need to trust anyone to verify the things that I can verify myself.

Nowadays it is very easy to have a front server with behind-scene server farms. You as a common end user without special tools just cannot see through, unless you are a genius script kid.
