Question
How can I improve the TTFB?
Heya!
I’m running Nginx on a 512MB Debian 7 Droplet in Amsterdam. The time-to-first-byte is between 400-500ms for static files/pages and funnily enough for a WordPress installation as well.
I’d like to get that down to 100ms, maybe 200ms. Is that a good goal, or are 500ms already good? How do I get that number down without using Varnish? Can I tweak Nginx some way, or would a hardware upgrade change it?
Cheers,
Till
