Making home Internet faster has little to do with “speed”

What this post added

This post analyzes the impact of bandwidth and latency on internet connection speed, using real-world data and analogies. It demonstrates that while bandwidth is important for large file transfers, latency has a more significant and linear impact on web page load times. The post highlights Cloudflare's focus on reducing latency through global network expansion and by moving content closer to users, explaining how latency affects TCP/TLS handshakes and the sequential loading of web page assets. It also introduces the concept of 'working latency' or 'responsiveness' as a more accurate measure of user-perceived speed.
