My website is detected in PageSpeed Insights that the server response time is too long. Is there anything that can be changed?

Server response time is limited by the speed of your web servers (and has nothing to do with front-end javascript execution, etc.). You might also be able to use a CDN such as Cloudflare to improve page speeds if you cache HTML pages, although this isn't possible with their free plan. (I believe you have to have at least their Business plan.) If you are unhappy with server response time and are on a shared hosting plan, you may wish to consider switching hosting companies. Server response time is also largely due to any backend code that powers your site. For example, perhaps your database queries are inefficient or connection to a separate database server is too slow, or perhaps your backend code (PHP, etc.) is written inefficiently. This isn't really anything we can diagnose properly in a forum such as this one, as there are so many possible things that could be going wrong on the server side, and we wouldn't have any insight into any of them just by looking at your site.

Good luck!

When the server time takes too long to load, you can optimize it by reducing the size of photos posted to the site, and even better if you change them from jpg/png to webp, as well as minimizing the website's JSS and CSS.

You can reduce server response time by reducing the size of JS and CSS files.

You can set up Cloudflare for your website it can increase the page loading speed. Or you can change the hosting for better results.

Your server is taking very much to response due to the load, you would need to optimize your load time by adopting dedicated server and other things such as clearing caches, optimize the images etc

Yes, there are some changes you can make to improve the server response time of your website.

First, you should check your web hosting provider and ensure that you have an adequate amount of server resources allocated to your website. If you are using a shared hosting plan, you may want to consider upgrading to a dedicated server or a cloud hosting plan.

Second, you can optimize your web server and web application to reduce the amount of time it takes to generate a response. This can include optimizing your database queries, reducing the amount of JavaScript and CSS files loaded, and compressing the files served to the browser.

Third, you can enable browser caching for static assets to reduce the number of requests sent to the server.

Finally, you can enable HTTP/2 on your web server to improve the loading time of your website.

These are just a few of the changes you can make to improve the server response time of your website. If you need further assistance, you may want to consider engaging a professional web developer to help you optimize your website.
