TTFB Increase

We had been on version 3 for a long time. We just updated to 5 and our TTFB increased by about 1 second. The theme update was the only change to our site. We went from about .35 second on all our pages to now about 1.3 seconds on all pages. Is there anything that would account for this in the theme changes from 3 to 5? It is pretty bad, causing our page load to also jump by that much.

Hey @BCEngineering,

Thanks for reaching out!

We’re not quite sure why it increases the TTFP data, you can check our performance guide here:

Please note that you have to take into account many things with regard to website optimization. X or Pro is already optimized in and of itself. The rest of the factors are outside the theme’s control.

Hope that helps.

Doesn’t help much, we didn’t change anything else on our end - hardware, child theme and other plugins all remained the same. The only change to the file system was the theme itself. Af that we saw a drastically increased the TTFB. I will have our SRE team review the document to see if we have any missing opportunities.

Hey @BCEngineering,

Great and let us know how it goes.

Thank you.
