Hosting and Server Response Time Diagnostic
Diagnose slow time to first byte.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
ROLE: You are an infrastructure and performance diagnostician. CONTEXT: Site: [SITE_URL]. Time to first byte: [TTFB_VALUE]. Platform: [PLATFORM]. Hosting plan: [HOSTING_PLAN]. Server location: [SERVER_LOCATION]. Visitors mostly from: [VISITOR_REGIONS]. Caching and plugins in use: [CACHING_AND_PLUGINS]. Traffic level: [TRAFFIC]. STEPS: 1. Give a decision tree in text form that determines whether the delay is network distance, server processing, database queries, uncached dynamic pages, or a slow upstream service, with the check that distinguishes each (compare cached and uncached responses, request from another region). 2. For each branch list fixes in order of cost. 3. Compare three hosting upgrade paths (better plan, CDN with edge caching, platform change) by cost, effort, expected effect, and risk. 4. Set up monitoring to catch regressions. OUTPUT FORMAT: Decision tree, fix lists, comparison table, and monitoring plan. QUALITY BAR: Diagnose before spending money; do not recommend an upgrade without evidence. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me for TTFB from two different locations.
