Wordpress LScache Plugin: Reduce initial server response time
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hi How to solve this problem: Reduce initial server response time I got that suggestion on GTmetrix Thank you The page I need help with: https://mutiaradakwah.com Hi, repeat the test again that message should be gone you should also check in waterfall , the main request response header , make sure you see x-ltiespeed-cache: hit Best regards, No, I have retested and the problem is still there I dont see this: x-ltiespeed-cache: hit , why? Thank you Hi, its there try disable cloudflare , it will increase TTFB Best regards, Yes, I have seen x-ltiespeed-cache: hit Ive also enabled Development Mode on Cloudflare However, I still see a suggestion Reduce initial server response time in GTmetrix Why? Thank you Hi, because cloudflare will increase TTFB normally , if there is no major issue to your network or your server network without CF : user server with CF : user CloudFlare server and simple physics 101 , shortest distance between 2 points is straight-line , and you got more distance to travel if all your request has to go through cloudflare set dev mode doesnt help , you need to fully disable it Best regards, set dev mode doesnt help , you need to fully disable it Then, if I pause Cloudflare temporarily from my site, will it work? Thank you Hi, No , you need to disable it , as set in DNS page from proxy to DNS only Best regards, Yes, you are right, I have disabled Cloudflare from my site and I dont have that problem again But is there a way to get Cloudflare to connect to my site, and the problem is not there? Thank you Hi, Sadly no , like I said , thats physical limitation. maybe you can set up CloudFlare as separated, CDN domain , then rewrite your static resources to it Best regards, Sadly no , I intend to solve all the problems in GTmetrix, and not using the CDN is a new problem with GTmetrix maybe you can set up CloudFlare as separated, CDN domain , then rewrite your static resources to it Can you explain it more easily? Because I dont really understand Thank you Hi, basically like this 1. keep your DNS on cloudflare, but for main domain , only set DNS only 2. create a subdomain , like cdn.domain.com on your DNS and also on your hosting panel , and point it to same directory as main domain , for example on cPanel , point it to /public_html 3. make sure this cdn.domain.com works , access it any static resources , for example from your origin , you have an image URL https://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/12/some.jpg then make sure https://cdn.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/12/some.jpg loads same image. 4. now go to your CF DNS page , enable proxy on this cdn.domain.com 5. after that , go to LSCWP -> CDN , set CDN URL to https://cdn.domain.com/ , and origin URL to //www.domain.com/ , save and purge all Best regards, Hi Thank you very much for the explanation But if I do that, will the Cloudflare features on my website be reduced? Such as speed, security, and others Thank you very much Hi, no , if you do that way , CF wont be active on main site. so its up to you , if you want to TTFB to look better, or over-all better performance and security Best regards, Ok, thank you for your explanation
