We spend an exterior firm for community administration. They’ve set a Citrix ADC load balancer in entrance of our net servers, which is additionally terminating TLS. I’m not definite if it used to be consistently love this (sooner than I joined the firm) nevertheless downloading a 1000 bytes file by the utilization of HTTP takes ~15ms while the same file by the utilization of HTTPS takes at the very least 110ms. The skin firm ignores this and claims that SSL termination is costly. I’m able to know about a ms, nevertheless clearly 100ms is garbage.
