There are newer ECDSA certs usually shown as EC cert in ssllabs report but these faster ECDSA certs are not supplied by all CAs and are not universally supported by all clients, so visitors on older hardware and software may not be able to connect with them. Apache and very recently Nginx from v 1. Certificate Chain. You'll want a short certificate chain ideal 3 cert long: your server, intermediary and the CAs root certificate.
Your server should return everything but the last cert which is already in browsers certificate store. If any of the chain is missing, some browsers will attempt to look the musing ones but this takes time.
Reliable cert provider. As well as shorter cert chains, better OCSP responders, their intermediaries also are usually cached in users browsers as they are likely to be used by other sites. Hopefully these will be resolved soon so it can be used. SSL caching and tickets should be on in my opinion. Some disagree for some obscure security reasons that should be fixed in TLSv1.
Sites with highly sensitive information may choose the more complete security over performance but in my opinion the security issues are quite complex to exploit, and the performance gain is noticeable. Improve this answer. Wade Williams 3, 1 1 gold badge 24 24 silver badges 33 33 bronze badges. Barry Pollard Barry Pollard Mentioned them as " EC" certificate. They are not commonly available nor universally supported yet though.
You're right, I've read too fast. They are not universally supported but by all modern browsers : community. LE has literally just added them and only when you generate the CSR on your side so not fully supported there. And also would restrict access to older clients e. They are good, client support is surprisingly good and do think they're the future.
But not quite there yet - especially given poor server support of running dual certs. Show 2 more comments. Tom Tom 4, 2 2 gold badges 22 22 silver badges 45 45 bronze badges. Those are interesting ideas, but none of them seems to address the key geographical factor being asked about in the question: "If I access the site from Netherlands, the SSL Time is high but if I access the same site from other countries then the SSL time is low.
MattiasAndersson I've add a clarification about that point. With these optimisations the numbers of roundtrip and the size of the requests should be close or fewer than http.
His question was specifically about https but yes, in general, even for an http website, being closer to the visitors helps. I'd also add that there is far too little detail in OPs question to address the geographical factor.
How do we know they are like for like comparisons? Regarding the use of ECDSA certificate I am bit confused as I was comparing our website with two other website and they both are using the similar certificate as that of us. This is incredibly important because it protects both you and your visitors.
When users of the web visit an unsecured site, intruders can identify personal details about them and use that information to trick them into divulging usernames, passwords, or other private data.
HTTPS protects you as well. A secure site keeps intruders from injecting malware or advertisements into your site. These types of intrusions can be very difficult to find and remove once in place.
To be completely honest, you almost have to use it. Utilizing these will more than offset the small time required to add an encryption layer to the protocol. These are typically implemented automatically by the hosting company servers. The best part is that the advantages we will cover below are constantly getting more advanced.
Just as advancements in the last decade have overcome the additional handshakes associated with HTTPS, the next decade will see incredible innovation in this space. All made possible through the extra layer of security.
Make use of Varnish Cache to reduce load on the database by caching pages. The initial connection refers to the time taken to perform the initial TCP handshake and negotiating an SSL where applicable. Resource bundling like JS and CSS concatenation can also help to reduce amount of stalled connections. What is TTFB? TTFB stands for time to first byte. To put it simply, this is a measurement of how long the browser has to wait before receiving its first byte of data from the server.
The longer it takes to get that data, the longer it takes to display your page.
