Cue server-timing headers Historically, when looking at page speed, we've had the tendency to ignore TTFB when trying to optimize the user experience. Charlie Vazac introduced server timing in a Performance Calendar post circa 2018. Caching the base page/HTML is common, and it should have a positive impact on backend times.

Using just a few (but still more than one), however, could nicely balance congestion growth with better performance, especially on high-speed networks. This approach was touted to be better for fine-grained caching because each subresource could be cached individually and the full bundle didn’t need to be redownloaded if one of them changed.
