my recommendation is to first serve everything yourself over TLS (minified, bundled, gzipped). if you can, run HTTP2. then measure.

if this does not deliver the perf you expect (chances are that it will), then look into CDNs.

if you need to serve media that needs a lot of bandwidth (expensive) then look into CDNs.

if you need some form of real-time comm like WebSockets or WebRTC that actually requires low latency, look into distributed systems (amazon, google, azure, cloudflare?, etc..)

Sure, my question was how people measure.

your best bet is https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Performance

combined with either IP2location or Geolocation apis.
