Metric | Estimate | Metric Impact | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
Wifi latency to internet | 1-4ms | TTFB, FCP, LCP | Wifi adds minimal latency to a connection. This can increase with a weak signal or older hardware. |
5G high-band (millimeter wave) latency to internet | 1-5ms | TTFB, FCP, LCP | Millimeter wave is the fastest deployed mobile technology. However, it is only practical to use in dense urban areas with a line of sight to the radio tower. |
User-space budget per frame for 60 frames per second | 5-10ms | Smooth framerate | On a 60fps device, a frame is painted every 16ms. However |
