Server response time is the time it takes for a server to return the initial HTML. This time should be kept at a minimum - ideally within 200 milliseconds, and preferably even less! There are dozens of potential factors which may affect a slow down of response time of your server:
  1. Slow application logic,
  2. Slow database queries,
  3. Slow routing,
  4. Frameworks,
  5. Libraries,
  6. Resource CPU starvation, or
  7. Memory starvation.
