You need to optimise Wordpress and database, plenty of tools available, check the DNS too.
It can depend on a hell of a lot of factors, optimisation could be one of them but it could also simply be down to location as well - if the test server is in the EU for example, and the server is in the US, response time is obviously going to be higher.
Don't take everything at face value and actually read in to why it's throwing that error.
"Wordpress/PHP" and "Reduce server response time" is not scientifically possible.
I am assuming server response time as time to first byte. use page/post caching plugin. set cache expiry time to never expire. 😁
Caching isn't a fix for "slow code" and shouldn't be used as such ...
It is but it can be difficult
'Web server response time' and 'time server' are drastically different things. No help for someone not caring enough to at least word the title to roughly reflect his problem.
@jsg perhaps, just perhaps English is not his primary language and his fluency is weak. Just perhaps consider an alternative explanation. Whether your help or help with attitude would be welcomed- is a whole different issue.
@supporthost Google is your friend. This was one of the first links https://onlinemediamasters.com/reduce-server-response-time-wordpress/
gives 19 steps to consider. Might be a useful start.
Neither server type will care. At all.
No problem. The great Unbelievable is already here to "help" by offering Google search links.
All this drama for what? Some bogus pseudo SEO science. SEO is stupid.
Yes, that on top of everything. But to some it seems important and I respect that, although chances of success are quite limited by very bad language skills plus careless use of language.
When I saw the title, I was wondering why they need to use fewer NTP servers.
reduce wp response time?
switch to static generators such as hugo, hexo, and a few alternatives.
the next step is to locate/hunt a fast and reliable vps, and that's it.
Enable opcache in PHP

@jsg Read the link and all of the suggestions. Then mouth off with more of your shit on how to do it the "right way". At least I provided a solid starting point while you just provided more of your verbal diarrhea.
@eva2000 wrote a good example and detailed explanation to optimise wordpress installation.

ps. centminmod blog running wordpress, but its ridiculously loaded fast on any browsers and has low TTFB.
It starts with DNS resolution. So pick a DNS provider with fast DNS resolution. The other thing to consider is to ensure that above the fold part of the landing page loads quickly. So load just enough Css/JavaScript (excluding public CDN) for above the fold first and then load the rest in an asynchronous manner. Enabling HTTP 2.0 may also assist.
I hope you feel better now - and superior. Have a nice weekend.
If you have dynamic content caching will not solve the problem
You need to use CDN to reduce the response time or nginx webserver
Yes it will what about varnish caching?
Does the server have enough memory? Is the node the vps on heavily loaded?
Is the clients website full of large images? .... there are lots of reasons for slow loading
Have you tried to turn on Gzip?
how does that help with the TTFB?
Sometimes such seo tools react differently.
LOL.... no.
