The High Resolution Time standard defines a Performance interface that supports client-side latency measurements within applications. The Performance interfaces are considered high resolution because they are accurate to a thousandth of a millisecond (subject to hardware or software constraints). The interfaces support a number of use cases including calculating frame-rates (potentially important in animations) and benchmarking (such as the time to load a resource).
A WebSocket server is a TCP application listening on any port of a server that follows a specific protocol, simple as that. The task of creating a custom server tends to scare people; however, it can be easy to implement a simple WebSocket server on your platform of choice.
