What is server response time and how does it affect WordPress speed?
Server Response Time Explained
Server response time is the amount of time your web server takes to respond to a user's browser after a request is made.
How Server Response Time Affects WordPress Speed
A slower response time means that your site takes longer to load, making the overall experience slower for your users and reducing WordPress speed. Slower response times can also impact metrics like Largest Contentful Paint, affecting page performance scores. Search engines like Google prioritize speed when determining website rankings, so a slower server response time can negatively affect your SEO.
