Network Latency
The delay that occurs when data travels across a hosting provider's network, directly affecting page load times, responsiveness, and user experience.
Network latency measures how long it takes for data to travel between a user's device and a hosting server. The longer the distance or the busier the network, the higher the latency. It's a key factor in how fast websites feel to visitors. Hosting providers minimise latency with advanced routing, content delivery networks, and data centres located close to major user regions. Even small improvements can make a noticeable difference. Low latency keeps pages responsive, videos smooth, and online interactions seamless, which is why it's a major focus in high-performance hosting.
