Network latency refers to the delay that occurs when data travels between two points on a network. It is influenced by factors such as physical distance, network congestion, server speed, and routing paths. Lower latency results in faster communication and a smoother user experience, especially in real-time applications like gaming, video conferencing, and cloud-based software. High latency can lead to delays, slow load times, and reduced app performance.
