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. only to find that the resource they’re requesting isn’t in that PoP ’s cache.

For example, to reduce latency, serverless platforms try to reuse the same function instance to process multiple requests. Don’t do that!
