I am trying to further optimize SSL but if i enable keepalive_timeout i
get
high TTFB as shown in the report below
When i disable keepalive_timeout , TTFB is fixed but nginx recommand
keepalive_timeout :
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html
Why does this happen ?
I welcome any other advice to further optimise SSL
Thanks
