What do time and latency mean in the context of the webkit inspector?

Latency describes the amount of delay on a network or Internet connection. Low latency implies that there are no or almost no delays. High latency implies that there are many delays. One of the main aims of improving performance is to reduce latency.
Latency refers to the delay in transmission; response time encompasses both the transmission delays and the actual processing time of the backend application. Response latency can be synonymous with response time–the time from sending a request to receiving a response, whether that response indicates success or error.
A latency test measures the amount of time needed to move data messages from one point within a computer network to another. Latency times are usually measured in nanoseconds.
Latency is generally measured in milliseconds (ms). In other words, the lower the number of milliseconds, the latency, and the network will behave more efficiently; therefore, the user will have a better experience. Latency is strongly linked to connection speed and bandwidth of a network.
Time is total duration, from the start of the request to the receipt of the final byte in the response. Latency is the time to load the first byte in the response.

I believe that the time is the overall time it takes to run the literal website code added with the latency while the latency is the delay received while sending said code information across the internet.
