How do you analyze server response time?
To measure server response time, you can use a few potential metrics. Most often, admins measure server response time with a term called Time to First Byte (TTFB), which represents the time it takes in milliseconds for a browser to receive the first byte of the response from a server.
What causes slow server response time?
There are dozens of potential factors which may slow down the response of your server: slow application logic, slow database queries, slow routing, frameworks, libraries, resource CPU starvation, or memory starvation. You need to consider all of these factors to improve your server's response time.
