latency is just the general concept of when you ask something to happen, it's the amount of time it takes before it does happen. It can exist everywhere, not just on the web, but in audio and video and just about every single thing you could possibly imagine. "Latency isn't always something that we can fix in a major way, right? But we are kind of at the whims of physics, so to say," he says.
In this episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk through all the reasons your website might be slow, and how you can troubleshoot a slow website such as issues on the server, large assets, caching, CSS, JavaScript, latency, and more.
