In the end, it’s not the load events or server response times that define the experience, but the perception of how snappy the interface feels. It used to provide an insight into how quickly the server outputs any data. This knowledge will give you the best optimization target for ongoing efforts. What does it mean?

This metric shows how much time it takes for the server to respond with something. This metric is important, but quite vague because it can include anything — starting from server rendering time and ending up with latency problems. process.exit(0); } }); Check the gist and demo repository.
