Most people have a common misconception that a fast internet connection always means a fast app experience.
In reality, two different factors are at play: latency and throughput
Latency is the time it takes for a single request to travel from your device to a server and back. It’s what determines how quickly you see a response after clicking a button or loading a page.
Throughput is the amount of data that can be delivered over a network in a given period. It’s about how much information can move through the system at once.
Both latency and throughput impact performance, but in different ways.
