Linode forced me to migrate my server from NJ to Atlanta and now I am having big problems.....

I totally understand that the migration was probably necessary and it's not like Linode did anything wrong, but it's been a bit of a disaster.

I had to manually change a lot of networking settings to even get my sites back up, and now there is a very weird massive delay before the page will load. This was NOT happening before the migration.

I followed these steps and changed my IP in a few places via command line and WebMin to get things running again:

sudo systemctl stop networking.service
sudo systemctl stop resolvconf.service
sudo systemctl disable networking.service
sudo systemctl disable resolvconf.service
sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd.service
sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service
sudo systemctl start systemd-networkd.service
sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved.service

So I can see my sites but there is a MASSIVE delay before the page even STARTS to load, we are talking 4-6 seconds.

It almost feels like an internal redirect loop or something, it's very weird.

Are there some specific settings I can check/change? I am comfortable with using the command line, just need some direction on what might be causing this.

It feels like a DNS issue maybe? I am running Ubuntu.
