Web performance refers to the speed at which a website loads, how fast it’s downloaded, and how an app is displayed on the user’s browser. Clearly, we want to give freedom to our content creators, but we can leave to chance neither the resolution nor the speed of delivery and download of the images that will be displayed on our website.

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). It is physically limited by the speed of light or, practically, how fast signals can travel in wires or in the open air. This in turn affects how fast a page’s resources can be downloaded.
