Does cside's JavaScript proxy add latency like a WAF does to all traffic?

cside only adds 8-20 milliseconds (the blink of an eye typically lasts between 100 and 400 milliseconds) of latency to the specific, highly dynamic JavaScript files we proxy. Static scripts are cached at our edge and therefore load faster than the original source, improving the speed of your website. This is completely different from a WAF that adds latency to every single request to your website. Users won't notice any difference.
