Network Time
Network Time is the "travel time" it takes for data to move between a user's browser and a website's server. This is influenced by factors like the physical distance between the user and the server (latency) and the quality of the user's internet connection (bandwidth). Speed Kit dramatically reduces Network Time by serving content from an Edge Cache that is geographically close to the user.
