An administrator suspects that users in Europe are being routed to a distant service edge,...

CloudPath supplies path-level evidence rather than an indirect symptom. Zscaler’s CloudPath evaluation documentation shows that the diagnostic presents the network path and reports latency, packet loss, and jitter across hops. Examining the early client-to-Zscaler portion reveals whether European users take an unexpectedly long route, encounter excessive hops, or accumulate latency before reaching the service edge. That directly tests the routing hypothesis and helps separate local, ISP, Zscaler-edge, and downstream SaaS segments. Alert thresholds can reveal that experience degraded but cannot prove the path was inefficient. CPU and memory telemetry tests endpoint-resource causes, not service-edge selection. Page Fetch Time confirms application slowness at a high level, yet many application, server, and network factors influence it. CloudPath is therefore the defensible diagnostic for locating where path delay begins.
