Optimizing NGINX TLS Time To First Byte (TTTFB)

[Adam Zell]

FYI:
http://www.igvita.com/2013/12/16/optimizing-nginx-tls-time-to-first-byte/

We started with a ~1800ms overhead for our TLS connection (nearly 5 extra
RTTs); eliminated the extra certificate roundtrip after a nginx upgrade;
cut another RTT by forcing a smaller record size; dropped an extra RTT from
the TLS handshake thanks to TLS False Start. With all said and done, *our
TTTFB is down to ~1560ms, which is exactly one roundtrip higher than a
regular HTTP connection.* Now we're talking!
