WP Website Speedy’s optimizations help in fixing Google PageSpeed Insights “reduce initial server response time” warning.

In order to reduce the server response time even more, it is possible to implement the following tips:

Optimize Server Configuration

In particular, you have to make sure that your server is set up properly. This ranges from using the latest server software to compression tools like Gzip, as well as using HTTP/2 for faster data transfer.

Edge Computing

Edge computing is a concept where much of the data processing is done locally, at the network edge, rather than on a centralized server. This approach can greatly help in reducing latency and improve server response time.

Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN stores backup files of your site on its servers that are spread across the world. When a user visits your site, the CDN fetches content from the nearest server and the process is carried out much faster and quicker.

Implement Caching Strategies

Caching eliminates the need to retrieve frequently accessed data from the database by creating copies of web pages and distributing them to users. The use of browser caching and server side caching can minimize server response time.

Minimize Third-Party Scripts

Cookies, third-party elements like ads and social networking buttons can cause elevation of server response time. Reducing them and ensuring that only the necessary scripts are included should be a priority.
