Power of Speed: How Latency Affects Your Business (and How to Reduce It)

Home – DCConnect Global

Do you agree if I said that speed is everything is this today world? This applies not just to your delivery services or manufacturing processes, but also to the digital backbone of your business. One often-overlooked factor that can significantly impact your business’s online performance is latency.

What is Latency?
Latency, also known as lag, refers to the time it takes for data to travel from one point to another on a network. Think of it like a traffic jam on the information highway. The longer the data takes to travel, the higher the latency.

What Factors Affect Network Latency?

Distance
The physical distance data must travel between its source and destination impacts propagation latency. The farther the distance, the longer it takes for data to travel, thereby increasing latency.

Bandwidth
Bandwidth refers to the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a network path within a fixed amount of time. Limited bandwidth can lead to network congestion, particularly during peak usage times, as more data packets are trying to traverse the network than it can handle.

Traffic Volume
High traffic volume can congest network paths, increasing queuing latency.

The Impact of Latency on Businesses

Reduced productivity
Employees waiting for applications to load or slow internet connections can waste valuable time.

Poor customer experience
Slow website loading times, lagging video conferences, and delayed responses can all frustrate customers and lead to lost sales.

Inefficient operations
Real-time data is crucial for many businesses. High latency can disrupt supply chains, inventory management, and other critical processes.
