What will be the fastest (best) linode region for hosting my website?
I have a website based on NYC related contents, mainly for NY people.
I'm transferring the wordpress website from my previous hosting provider to Linode.
What will be the fastest and best Linode region you suggest me to pick?

When using a Content Delivery Network (CDN), such as Bunny (a more affordable option) or Akamai CDN, the region where your server is located does not affect your users experience. If you choose not to use a CDN, selecting a server closest to your users location is recommended.
Suggested Region: (Newark, NJ)

I agree with @zample - your best bet is to pick a location that is closest to your customers or the users of your site. In this case, that's probably going to be the Newark location.
