I’m moving my site fully over to SSL, and so far I’ve moved the mobile version over. The problem I’m having, is that its quite a bit slower on the request:

Before:

After:

The initial HTML page for example (31.html), went from taking 5ms, to a whopping 303ms :/

I’m assuming this is something to do with the fact we are now on SSL.

My SSL is set up pretty simply in my domains config file with:

ssl         on; ssl_certificate      /home/chambres/conf/web/ssl.chambresdhotes.org.pem; ssl_certificate_key  /home/chambres/conf/web/ssl.chambresdhotes.org.key; 

Are there any other tricks I can use, to help speed this up? We are rolling this out on the mobile version first to get a feel of how it will affect speed – I’m just concerned if we move this over to the desktop version as well (much heavier), it will make the speeds so much slower.

Thanks!
