But: There's already tech available enabling these very use cases (see https://webtorrent.io/) and the adoption is pretty low. Plus IPFS doesn't solve the problem of disappearing peers at all. If no one's willing to mirror your awesome IPFS page, it will be gone the same way as with centralized hosting.
Fun Fact: IPFS is not BlockChain tech.
The company I work for has a similar tool (no fancy API yet, though) which shows the latency from some AWS regions to "the world" via different transit providers.
You can check it out at https://latency-test.datapath.io/.
The reason we only have three AWS regions at the moment is that we're using real hardware to do the measurement on network level.
