According to Google, the average Time to First Byte is between 100ms – 500ms, depending on the type of content displayed on the website. For websites that display static content, aiming for 100ms TTFB is ideal. Where as websites with dynamic content should try to aim for the 200ms – 500ms range. In both cases, Google suggests a website should strive to obtain TTFB of 200ms or less.

CASUSES OF A SLOWER TTFB
When it comes to causes of a slow TTFB, these cause could be attributed to the following reasons:

  • High web traffic
  • Network problems
