Latency
The delay between sending a request and receiving a useful response
What's it for?
Shows how long someone waits for a useful response, which strongly affects how fast a service feels.
For example…
Video calls suffer when latency rises — people talk over each other without meaning to
A search request has 50 ms latency if the useful response starts arriving 50 milliseconds after the user submits it
Think of it like…
The pause between knocking on a door and hearing “come in”
