Example Concept: To optimize SSL performance, ensure your server supports HTTP/2, which allows multiplexing of requests over a single connection, reducing latency. Use modern TLS versions (e.g., TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and prioritize cipher suites that offer both security and speed. Implement OCSP stapling to reduce SSL handshake times by allowing the server to provide certificate status, and enable session resumption to avoid repeated handshakes for returning visitors.
