TTFB
Time to First Byte (TTFB) is a core metric for measuring the responsiveness of network or streaming systems. It denotes the elapsed time from when a client sends a request to when it receives the first byte of data, and is used to evaluate real-time performance in voice AI and streaming applications.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Using only completion time as an optimization metric obscures time-to-first-byte (TTFB/TTFT), which is critical to real user experience.
When evaluating voice AI system performance, TTFB should be used as the primary SLA metric rather than average processing time.
Common dimensions in voice Agent evaluation include time-to-first-byte (TTFB), speech-to-text accuracy, the Agent's ability to recover state after being interrupted, and the consistency of intent understanding across multi-turn conversations.
