The browser caches the results of these lookups, but they can be slow. This typically happens once per server and takes up valuable time — especially if the server is very distant from the browser and network latency is high.

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).
