Stockholm <-> Tokyo is at least 400ms here, anytime you have multi-national sites having a CDN is important. For your local city, not so much (and of course you won't even see it locally).
- bawolff 2y agoI understand that ping times are different when geolocated. My point was that in fairly typical scenarios (worst cases are going to be worse) it would be hidden by backend latency since the fetch could be concurrent with link headers or http 103. Devil in details of course.
