Every time you type a URL in the browser address bar, follow a link in a page or even load a resource like an image from a different domain, the browser needs to do a DNS lookup to find the server that holds the resource we’ve requested. The browser caches the results of these lookups, but they can be slow. Preconnecting.

Time To First Byte (TTFB) This is the time it takes for the first piece of information from the server to reach the user’s browser. You need to beware that slow server response times can significantly increase TTFB, often due to server overload, network issues, or un-optimized logic on the server side.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).

It is common to see a value of “ 0″ ( or sometimes “10” ) on database servers, telling the kernel to prefer to swap to memory for better response times. The CFQ works well for many general use cases but lacks latency guarantees. A setting of 100 determines it to swap aggressively to disk.

You’ve probably heard things like: “HTTP/3 is much faster than HTTP/2 when there is packet loss”, or “HTTP/3 connections have less latency and take less time to set up”, and probably “HTTP/3 can send data more quickly and can send more resources in parallel”. Websites would magically become 50% faster with the flip of a switch!

Late-loading JavaScript can cause “server-side rendered” pages to fail in infuriating ways. The server sends it as a stream of bytes and when the browser encounters each of the sub-resources referenced in the document, it requests them.
