How can I improve the load times?

You should run more than a single run from each location to make sure you get a representative result. That said, if your primary user base is in Asia, you should not be hosting it in the US (or at a minimum, you should look into a CDN to help distribute your static content).

The round trip time from India to the US is around a quarter of a second and you will pay that on every request.
