        1. What Is Network Latency?

        Network latency is the delay you experience when using your remote server. It’s the time it takes for information to travel between your computer and the server. If this delay is too long, you may notice slow performance.


        2. What Causes Network Latency?

        There are a few reasons why you might experience delays:

        • Distance from the Server – The farther away you are from the server, the longer it takes for data to travel.
        • Busy Network – If too many people are using the internet at the same time, it can slow things down.
        • Slow Internet Speed – If your internet connection isn’t fast enough, you may experience lag.
        • Multiple Stops Along the Way – Data travels through different points before reaching you, and more stops can add delays.
        • Old Equipment – If your router or internet setup is outdated, it might not work as fast as needed.
        • Security Settings – Firewalls and security software can sometimes slow down data transfer.

        3. How Does Latency Affect Your Server?

        If you have high latency, you might notice:

        • Slow Responses – Clicking on something takes longer than usual.
        • Lag in Remote Desktop (RDP) – Your mouse and keyboard actions feel delayed.
        • Slow File Transfers – Uploading or downloading files takes more time.
        • Connection Drops – You might get disconnected from the server unexpectedly.
        • Inconsistent Speed – Sometimes it works fine, and other times it slows down without warning.

        4. How Can You Check Network Latency?

        You can check your connection delay using these simple methods:

        • Use a Speed Test Website – Websites like Speedtest.net can show your connection speed.
        • Check Your RDP Connection Bar – Some remote desktop tools show connection quality.
        • Ask Your Internet Provider – They can help check if there’s a problem with your connection.

        5. How to Reduce Network Latency?

        If your server feels slow, try these easy fixes:

        • Use a Wired Connection – A direct cable connection is faster than Wi-Fi.
        • Restart Your Router – This can refresh your internet connection.
        • Close Background Apps – Shut down apps that might be using the internet.
        • Move Closer to Your Wi-Fi Router – A stronger signal can help.
        • Upgrade Your Internet Plan – If your connection is too slow, you may need a faster plan.
        • Contact Your ISP – Your internet provider can help troubleshoot problems.
        • Use Verito’s Cloud Solutions – We optimize server performance to keep things running smoothly.
