Speed performance
One of the factors that has the greatest impact on the performance of a web page is the RTT: the round trip time of the network.
The higher the RTT at an origin, the better the performance by using servers geographically closer to the user.
Network traffic has two important components:
“Latency” is the time lag between the sender and receiver of data, i.e. the time from when the source sends a data packet to when it is received by the destination.
Latency is composed by:
The sum of these delays is the total latency.
The bandwidth is the maximum throughput of a physical or logical communication path.
Use the command traceroute like the example below:
$> traceroute google.com traceroute to google.com (74.125.224.102), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets 1 10.1.10.1 (10.1.10.1) 7.120 ms 8.925 ms 1.199 ms 2 96.157.100.1 (96.157.100.1) 20.894 ms 32.138 ms 28.928 ms 3 x.santaclara.xxxx.com (68.85.191.29) 9.953 ms 11.359 ms 9.686 ms 4 x.oakland.xxx.com (68.86.143.98) 24.013 ms 21.423 ms 19.594 ms 5 68.86.91.205 (68.86.91.205) 16.578 ms 71.938 ms 36.496 ms 6 x.sanjose.ca.xxx.com (68.86.85.78) 17.135 ms 17.978 ms 22.870 ms 7 x.529bryant.xxx.com (68.86.87.142) 25.568 ms 22.865 ms 23.392 ms 8 66.208.228.226 (66.208.228.226) 40.582 ms 16.058 ms 15.629 ms 9 72.14.232.136 (72.14.232.136) 20.149 ms 20.210 ms 18.020 ms 10 64.233.174.109 (64.233.174.109) 63.946 ms 18.995 ms 18.150 ms 11 x.1e100.net (74.125.224.102) 18.467 ms 17.839 ms 17.958 ms
