How to improve server response time?

Dunk92 · Apr 19, 2018

Hello.

The speed is crucial when dealing with this sort of things and I wanted to fasten it as much as I can.

Are there any methods that are simple that can help me out in improving server response time ?

We are starting and we do not want things to get slow, since speed is something we should put to the max at first.

that will depend a lot on your server and what you will manage

Is there any description of what you are going to manage on your server?

The best way is choosing a fast server to improve your server response time without requiring many optimizations on your server.

Do you really need a dedicated server? From what you are describing a server is not needed, especially if you don't know how to optimise it.
Depending on how much resource you need a shared hosting, or at most a VPS should be enough. With shared host, the hosting provider will do the server optimising so you can focus on optimising the website.

If you do go for a server, I suggest getting management so they can do the optimisation for you, as you sound like your new to all this.

Site speed will depend on: server spec, connection, location of server in relation to visitors and how well optimized the website is.
You should focus on all of those areas to get best result.

You can play with some values inside /etc/sysctl.conf

it may help to reduce I/O and then speed up your server but you have to be really careful with the following values.

vm.swappiness=?
vm.vfs_cache_pressure=?
vm.min_free_kbytes=?

The question here for me is what do you mean by "server response time"? Are you referring to server responding as in "pinging it" or do you test your website's speed and see that "server response time" is high? If it is the first one, then getting a better server package will help. If it is the second one, getting better package most likely will not help. In most of the website checking tools, server response time includes the time it takes for files to download.

Most people use a dedicated server to accomplish this. Your ping time will be around 88.

Are you looking to speed up a specific website or entire server? Please clarify.
