Summary

A detailed study shows that the latency and not throughput determines the speed of an internet connection. Lowering latency results in significant reduction in page load times, irrespective of whether the internet connection is slow or fast. On the other hand, increasing bandwidth does not necessarily improve page load times. The correlation between lower latency and reduced page load time exists even when latency is already low. This understanding can help us build a more performant Internet.
