Break down connection, TTFB, and total response time
time_connect is the TCP handshake, time_starttransfer is when the first response byte arrives (time to first byte, often the slowest part for dynamic sites), and time_total is the whole request. Comparing them shows whether latency is network, TLS, or application-side. Run it a few times to separate cold starts from steady-state latency.
