How does slow internet access affects the response time of a web based system hosted on local server that is being access by other clients from the local server?

I'm accessing the web based system on a local server through the ip-address of local server.

ex: 190.168.1.110/local_system/login

    There's no way to know this without actually taking some measurements in your specific environment. Commented Jun 16, 2016 at 1:21
  • Can you give me some measurement factors regarding this based your experience? Currently, the web-based system responds well when the internet connection is good but when gets slow when the internet connection is slow too.@RobertHarvey Commented Jun 16, 2016 at 1:30
  • The speed of your external Internet connection should have no effect on the operation of a web service that is totally contained on your local network. The exception is if the browser is defective - holding up local traffic while waiting for external traffic. But you would need to be accessing both on the same browser. Commented Jun 16, 2016 at 4:01
  • Another possibility is that your internet access is not slowing down at all, but appears to because of a larger than usual amount of Internet traffic on your network (is somebody watching NetFlix? How about porn?). In that case, your local network may be getting saturated. Commented Jun 16, 2016 at 4:03
  • By "local" sever, do you mean local area network or localhost? Commented Jun 16, 2016 at 6:23

A purely local server should not slow down when its internet connection slows down. Indeed, it should be able to run without an internet connection at all. But there are a variety of common scenarios when a local server does make internet requests, and you may want to locate such occurrences and remove them. Some common ones include:

  • calling out to xml schema locations in order to validate xml files
  • attempting to perform reverse dns requests on local ip addressees with an incorrectly configured dns resolver that forwards such requests to the internet
  • producing web pages that refer to scripts, images, fonts, or style sheets that are hosted online

  • None of the occurrences you have mentioned affects the slowness of the response, i guess there are other factors then and it doesn't include the internet connection.@Jules Commented Jun 16, 2016 at 11:28
