Description: Server response time refers to the interval that elapses from when a client makes a request to a server until the server sends a response. This time is crucial in the technology field as it directly affects user experience and the efficiency of web applications. A low response time indicates that the server is processing requests quickly, resulting in smoother and more satisfying navigation. Conversely, a high response time can lead to user frustration, potentially resulting in lost traffic and ultimately a decrease in conversion rates. Response time is measured in milliseconds and can be influenced by various factors such as server load, internet connection quality, code optimization, and the underlying network infrastructure. In the context of cloud CDNs (Content Delivery Networks), response time is optimized by distributing content across multiple geographically dispersed servers, allowing requests to be directed to the server closest to the user, thereby reducing latency and improving page load speed.
