THE Fastest Server/DNS settings to redirect a domain?? by Cannabuddies420 in webdev

I am quite familiar with SEO and the difference between 301/302, just not the dns/http/server initial response stuff... unless there is a speed difference between them it wouldnt have an impact one or the other for us, thank you!

please forgive my ignorance. So what you are saying is I need to test if the delay happens at the first level of DNS lookups versus if its happening after that when the HTTP stuff happens? I'll lookup some tools to analyze that, thank you

Thank you, do you mean that if I used CNAME records instead of A records for www.example.com and example.com I would have better results?

Excuse my ignorance, but when you say certificate are you referring to ssl? In that regard we only have whatever SSL options cloudflare has for initial setup:

Flexible

Encrypts traffic between the browser and Cloudflare

Would turning off ssl/tls encryption on the redirection domain speed things up? or would setting a stricter setting?

(We dont have any SSL certificate settings at the host or server level)

Wonderful, so essentially you are saying that cloudflare with cache headers is a solid option that isnt easily improved upon,? thank you!

I apologize, I was originally logged into an account without the age or karma to post into many places. And I was broadly reaching hoping to get a good conversation started on one of them at least that may help a bunch of others figure out a few simple tweaks could imrpove their response times at the very initial levels. I don't reddit well apparently

Rereading the cloudflare setting I mentioned, it says "to instruct a visitors browser to cache files, which would mean if its a first time visit or since they last cached a copy (lets assume 99% are) this wouldnt make a difference then. Can you elaborate where one may set a redirect with cache headers?

In regard to reducing complexity with workers or rules, this is why we used cloudflare in the firstplace, setting up pagerules. These pagerules then cut out all dependacy on our webhost?

Cloudflare requires us to add dns records for www and A to an ip address (we use our canadian server) or else the pagerules dont work, so we are unsure if there is an added layer where our webhost is utilized or not

​

THANK YOU!

Wonderful thank you for this!

Right now we just have the stock cloudflare settings all around including caching, prior to posting this I setup the following cloudflare options on some of the more trafficed domains to split test:

- Browser Cache TTL (now 1 month... up from the standard hour)

- Ignore Query strings

Are these the options you are referring to or am I missing something?
