## Static site assets now built and persisted in the same region as other services

Render now builds your [static sites](https://docs.render.com/static-sites) and persists their assets in the same region where you deployed your _first_ non-static Render service. Previously, all static site assets were stored in the Oregon region.

**Static sites are still cached and served to users by a global CDN, regardless of their region.** This change primarily improves latency for any [rewrite rules](https://docs.render.com/redirects-rewrites) that point to a Render web service in the same region.
