Improving time to first byte (ttfb)

Hey folks, I’ve been dealing with a high Time to First Byte (TTFB) on my website and I’m looking to optimize it. Has anyone here tried out specific server tweaks, caching strategies, or CDNs that made a noticeable difference? Any tips on how to reduce the delay before the first byte of data is received would be really appreciated!

hey, i’ve been playing around with some caching tweaks on my end too. i noticed that even a small configuration change in php caching at the server layer reduced delays a bit. it’s not a magic fix but works combined with a decent cdn. has anyone tried host specific tweaks? might be worth digging into your host’s options if u havent already.

I ran into similar issues and found that addressing TTFB was really a mix of several small improvements. Sometimes, simply upgrading your hosting plan or working with a provider that offers better server performance can lower your first byte times remarkably. I also played around with caching at the server level alongside a reliable CDN to offload some of the heavy lifting. It really pays to test these tweaks one at a time so you can see what’s making the most difference. Even minor adjustments can add up to a faster web experience over time.

I’ve been tweaking my server cache settings along with a reliable CDN to squeeze out lower TTFB on my sites. I found that reworking some back-end configurations and compressing assets not only improved load times but also bumped my conversions—faster sites tend to keep potential buyers engaged. I even dabbled in HTTP/2 early on and was curious if upgrading to QUIC would offer further improvements. Has anyone else experimented with these protocols while keeping an eye on revenue metrics instead of just page speed?
