Reduce initial server response time

Check your code. It's basically all about your app, database queries and how quickly you can send response for a request.

If you can't improve optimizing your app and database, you can always upgrade to a better hardware, but from my perspective, there is always room to improve the app. It's cheaper, makes more sense, specially long term and you should focus on that.

Pro tip: do not spam the board with your website links.

Server Response Time (SRT) is the amount of time between when a web client makes a request and the server responds to that request. SRT is measured in a unit known as TTFB (Time to First Byte). TTFB is the time it takes for the browser to receive the first byte in response to the browser request. It is measured in milliseconds. You should reduce your server response time under 200ms (milliseconds). There are multiple strategies to improve your server:

• Choose Your Web Server Carefully

• Utilize a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

• Implementing server-side caching

• Optimize Your Database

• Minify and combining external files

• There are various tools to test and improve server response time, You can use the following:

• GTmetrix

• KeyCDN

• Pingdom

• Google Page Speed Insights

• Web Page Test

Server quality, which might be already there, and image file-size optimizations should resolve the initial server response time issue. If necessary, optimize the number of hops on your server.
