How can I check and reduce the time it takes for a server to respond?

Hello friends! Any suggestions on this?

[Aaron Martin]

Yes, the main goal of website owners and SEO specialists should strive to reduce server response time.

It’s a good question. You can do it using the command line or by using Pingdom.

What is the server response time?

[River Brown]

The time between a client requesting a page in a browser and a server replying to that request is known as server response time.

[Aaron Martin]

Over 40% of web visitors abandon a site if it takes more than 3 seconds to load, according to research. Furthermore, the longer it takes to load, the lower its position on the search engine result page (SERP).

Some of the ways to reduce response time-

a. Use Reliable and Fast Web Hosting

b. Keep WordPress Lightweight

c. Optimize Databases

d. Monitor PHP Usage

e. Configure Caching

The server response time is also known as the Time to First Byte (TTFB) because it counts how long it takes the server to send a single byte to the user as a response to the user's request.

Using the command line:

1) Enter "ping" followed by the IP address of your website.

2) It will display the time server that was utilised to respond.
