    How to reduce WordPress TTFB: a diagnostic guide

    To reduce WordPress TTFB, measure the same request at each layer instead of tuning WordPress blindly. Separate DNS, connection and TLS time from time to first byte, compare CDN hits with origin requests, then profile PHP, database work and external calls on the slow path.
