Is there a way to increase speed to a remote server? I’m seeing a 90% decrease compared to my local server.

Upload speeds, on many internet connections, have been known to be capped -- typically a provider-enforced cap. What type of connection are you using remotely? Fiber, cable, hotspot, etc.?
Cable internet from Optimum (formerly suddenlink)
Dang. On a quick web search, it looks like that service provider has, in fact, capped their upload speeds to about 35mbps.
Because of this cap, uploads are going to be even worse when not on your network directly, in some cases -- say, attempting to upload something from a coffee shop.
That may explain the poor speeds, although there could be other factors. Sorry to respond with bad news!
