How to reduce TTFB and improve page load speed

The article discusses effective methods to reduce Time to First Byte (TTFB), a crucial aspect of optimizing web application performance. The authors point out that TTFB is the duration from when a browser sends a request until it receives the first byte of data from the server. A high TTFB can negatively impact user experience and search engine rankings. Possible causes of high TTFB include server issues, the complexity of application processing, and network delays. The article proposes several solutions such as server optimization, using caching mechanisms, and avoiding external dependencies that could slow down responses. Implementing these strategies can significantly reduce TTFB and enhance overall web application performance.
