The first access of website is extremely slow but fast afterward

  • Hello communities, I am encountering ttfb problem. I am from Hong Kong and establishing fitness business. My Website is extremely slow on first access but fast afterwards. Because my website is as development stage, so I can ensure that no one will access to my website. Around few hours, the first access need to takes around 40-60 second to load. And then, the website will be faster no matter I am using a new device to access. I tried to test the ttfb of first access in PageSpeed. It shows

    “Lighthouse: FAILED_DOCUMENT_REQUEST. Lighthouse was unable to reliably load the page you requested. Make sure you are testing the correct URL and that the server is properly responding to all requests. net::ERR_TIMED_OUT.”

    I am concerning that does my backend need to restart some program in first access? I am using astra theme with wp super cache, autoptimize and cloudflare CDN. Do anyone have same issue in first access?`

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • If you have WP Super Cache TTFB shouldn’t be an issue (and even without it 40-60s is unacceptable), you should check in with your host really ..

    After the first access, I tested my website ttfb is around <1s. The only issue is the first access. How can I fix it?

    Its usually caused by overloaded hosting, while your site data are evicted from the caches.

    1. Get more visitors
    2. Get another better hosting
    3. Set up a script to load some of your site pages every few minutes
    4. Create more content so search engines will crawl your site
