Latency can be as damaging as downtime in modern applications. Eight key strategies help reduce latency: caching frequently accessed data, using CDNs to serve content geographically closer to users, load balancing to distribute traffic across servers, async processing for long-running tasks, database indexing for faster queries, data compression to reduce network payload, precaching anticipated requests, and reusing TCP connections with keep-alive. Each technique addresses different aspects of system performance, from data retrieval to network optimization.
