Despite the name, serverless computing still uses servers. This means companies can access the exact resources they need whenever they need them, rather than paying for server space and computing power they only need occasionally. If servers reach maximum load and capacity in-house, something has to give before adding new services.

A lot of people surmise that TTFB is merely time spent on the server, but that is only a small fraction of the true extent of things. The first—and often most surprising for people to learn—thing that I want to draw your attention to is that TTFB counts one whole round trip of latency. But what else is TTFB?

One of the quickest wins—and one of the first things I recommend my clients do—to make websites faster can at first seem counter-intuitive: you should self-host all of your static assets, forgoing others’ CDNs/infrastructure. Critical assets are far too valuable to leave on someone else’s servers. You’re going to suffer, too.
