I remember how, later on, a common question I would get in after giving performance-focused presentations was: “Is any of this going to matter when 4G is available?” ” The fallacy of networks, or new devices for that matter, fixing our performance woes is old and repetitive. And those speeds aren’t constant.

The first—and often most surprising for people to learn—thing that I want to draw your attention to is that TTFB counts one whole round trip of latency. The reason is because mobile networks are, as a rule, high latency connections. Last mile latency deals with the disproportionate complexity toward the terminus of a connection.
