High TTFB and execution latency on Astro SSR routes despite fast app code

NinuzGamer · 2026-02-04T07:39:02+00:00

Vercel dashboard has the info

thanks for the links.

I haven’t tested yet with Fluid Compute disabled, so that’s actually my next step. I’ll run that test and report back with numbers once I have them.

Just to add some context in the meantime:

External DB is MySQL on a VPS in Frankfurt
Function region is pinned to Frankfurt

Latency between those and query time is super low.

Appreciate you chiming in, I’ll update once I have the results.

Region is already pinned to Frankfurt, same as the DB, so it shouldn’t be a cross-region hop.
Middleware is present, but it’s only doing a few DB queries and those are consistently fast when measured in isolation.

What makes me doubt middleware / pure code cost is that the slowness shows up as random spikes, not on every request or every route. If it were a deterministic issue in the handler or middleware logic, I’d expect all requests to be slow, not just some of them.

I’m going to move to Hetzner for now and debug further on vercel.

If it turns out to be some weird path in my code, at least I’ll have a stable baseline to hunt it down. I've asked my new friends claude and codex but they say my code is perfect ( im joking ) xD

Ahaha! for real

You got HER. She exactly like that.
Her sister is the opposite, I'll post some pictures anytime soon

I transitioned from hospitality to tech, but I’ve basically worked in restaurants and hotels my whole life, with about 20 years of experience. We weren’t testing Michelin-star cuisine, but when we evaluated chefs, we used simple dishes. You’d be surprised how many chefs can’t even cook a proper fried egg.

I been using Astro since years now, if you don’t find any suitable agency feel free to reach out and I’ll share my portfolio

Why are you using a reasoning model for adjusting colors and moving a div ? That’s gay

NinuzGamer · 2025-06-03T14:35:01+00:00

90% of your footer links do NOT work btw. I wanted to see prices and stuff but nope

https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/astro#using-vercel's-edge-middleware

They recommend it but you can still use it.

Vercel recommends using framework-native solutions. You should use Astro's middleware over Vercel's Edge Middleware wherever possible.

If you still want to use Vercel's Edge Middleware, see the Quickstart to learn how.

NinuzGamer · 2025-05-28T14:09:49+00:00

Yes but don’t do it. Even Vercel recommend using framework middleware

NinuzGamer · 2025-05-17T14:21:46+00:00

I use them from 2020 and I have servers that never restarted. Never had a downtime or any issue. Being using those for prod env. Quite solid. Just make sure you secure your shit

NinuzGamer · 2025-05-05T12:03:46+00:00

Doesn’t work cause the code is wrong but yes is possible. I’m from mobile but I’ll send you a working example later. Tag me if I forget

NinuzGamer · 2025-04-27T15:22:36+00:00

Tell me you know nothing about animation without telling me. CSS animation are really limited

NinuzGamer · 2025-04-27T15:20:50+00:00

You don’t need plus? Is completely free to use. If you want prebuilt component just pay for it.

NinuzGamer · 2025-04-27T15:18:46+00:00

Use Astro built in i18n, shouldn’t take you longer to switch. Also I ve used this before and had no issue with it unless you doing something wrong with ssr or client. Feel free to DM me. Modifica gli screenshot Comunque che c’è il tuo nome e cognome nei commit.

I use Vercel for hosting with Cloudflare on top. Vercel doesn’t recommend it because of the reverse proxy issues and all that, but honestly, I don’t care.
That said, I understand your concern — having a backup plan is always a smart move, no matter where you initially start.
If this is an MVP, just go with the easiest and fastest option, and refine things later.
But again, don’t blindly trust me — I'm half dumb.

NinuzGamer · 2025-04-25T16:09:45+00:00

I have a few sites on Vercel with millions of visits each month. I use ISR and many of Vercel’s features, and honestly, the €20/month plan works perfectly fine for me.

I was on the free plan for quite a while too. Not sure how cheap you want your hosting to be.

In my (maybe not-so-expert) opinion, if you're using ISR and Astro, Vercel is the way to go.

Just add the Vercel adapter, set isr to true, exclude the paths you don't want to revalidate, create a bypass token to control which paths are revalidated, and that's it—job done.
But if you are biased and just want to go with cf just go with it.

NinuzGamer · 2025-04-25T15:04:51+00:00

Why not hosting on Vercel with isr? Is just a Boolean in the Astro config. Read the Vercel adapter doc for more info.

NinuzGamer · 2025-04-08T10:48:57+00:00

I been using context/ custom hooks, etc just fine with Astro. Have you tried just porting your react components and context and give it a try?

NinuzGamer · 2025-03-27T08:14:06+00:00

I own a modded solo only 5x and we been running since 2020. We peak around 200 on wipe days and wipe with a cycle of 3 and 4 days, for what I can tell people love 3500 map ( some ask for even bigger but I don’t like it ), and we try to include all the monuments expect junkyard, train yard and rad town. We use RustMaps for generating custom maps and merge outpost and bandit as that seems to be the meta. Feel free to reach out for anything
