You’ll speed up the page, but not the First Byte. You’ll speed up the loading of multimedia (images, PDF, videos) and JS. This will improve the snappiness of the site, but all the dynamic content will need to be loaded from the central server.

So, the Avatars of the users will be quicker, for example, but not the titles of the topics.
