TTFB slow - server response delay measured
Time To First Byte (TTFB) is how long your server takes to begin sending the page to a visitor's browser after they click a link. Yours is currently slower than recommended thresholds.
Why this matters
A slow TTFB delays everything that follows, so images, text and interactive elements all load later than they could. It can worsen Core Web Vitals scores such as LCP, which Google considers among its page experience signals, and slow pages can frustrate visitors, especially on mobile connections.
How to fix it
Common fixes include enabling caching so the server doesn't rebuild the page from scratch on every visit, using a content delivery network (CDN) to serve pages from a location closer to each visitor, and reviewing any slow database queries or third-party services that run before the page starts loading.
