Armed with this knowledge, we can soon understand why TTFB can often increase so dramatically on mobile. Surely, you’ve wondered before, the server has no idea that I’m on a mobile device—how can it be increasing its TTFB?! The reason is because mobile networks are, as a rule, high latency connections.
