I thought the same, but reality isn&#x27;t that nice. Got this response: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10602621" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10602621</a><p>I was able to replicate this on my own server too, but haven&#x27;t immediate solution (all the obvious things like OCSP stapling were already configured, following common sense and various &quot;best practices&quot; guides) and I hadn&#x27;t enough spare time to properly investigate why TLS takes longer.<p>If someone had encountered this or knows the possible culprits, would be glad to hear suggestions.
