What is Latency?
Latency refers to the time it takes for data to travel from your device to a destination server and back again. It is measured in milliseconds (ms) and is a key factor in determining the responsiveness of a network connection. Lower latency means quicker response times, which is particularly important for applications like online gaming, video conferencing, and real-time communications.
