It adds up surprisingly quickly when you have to do a TLS handshake, download many resources on pageload etc. The TLS handshake alone costs 3 round-trips over the network.



TLS is cached though. Your 3 round trips is 1/2 second on initial load but then should be reused for subsequent requests.

Resources should be served through a CDN so you'll get local servers for those.
