I've been running some benchmark tests of several sites for a couple weeks. I noticed that the First View SSL Negotiation times have decreased drastically for differing HTTPs calls from all site tests after March 8th using Dulles, VA - IE 8 - Cable. Each site has seen improvements in some but not all internal HTTPS calls and external HTTPS calls to x+1, doubleclick and several others - too many to be just a coincidence.
Here's some examples for one such site:
3/1 http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130301...0/details/
3/4 http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130304...2/details/
3/8 http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130308...8/details/
3/11 http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130311...4/details/
3/12 http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130312...2/details/
I've since run similar tests for some of the sites from 6 of the 7 U.S. locations and the SSL Negotiation times HAVE NOT varied by much from any of the other locations except Dulles, VA. Any idea what could be the cause of this decrease in SSL Negotiation times?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Jeff
