Measuring latency is doable (using the same mechanism that traceroute with 
for instance max-ttl 5), but I don't know how much of this is available to 
your web application?

If you sent 5 packets with TTL 1-5 and measured the time to get back the 
ttl-expired-in-transit ICMP, you could get an indication where the latency 
increase was happening.
