Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Chrome's User Experience Report provides Round-Trip-Time (RTT) data, which reveals the network conditions of users. Many users have slower network connections, so web applications should be able to handle high-latency environments well. Some strategies to handle these include reducing transfer size, using a CDN, upgrading to HTTP/2 and TLS 1.3, and adopting HTTP/3 (QUIC) if possible.
