I am using the official plugin called Instant Articles for WP by Automattic to generate an Instant Article RSS feed.

lesterchan.net on nginx/php-fpm & MariaDB

Previously, lesterchan.net averages about 1,900ms in response time according to Pingdom Public Status Page. When I switched over to HTTPS, the response time increased to 2,600ms. I was still on Apache 2.4.7 running PHP 5.5.9 via mod_php.

When I made the switch to nginx 1.6.2 running PHP 5.5.22 via php-fpm, the response time decreases back to 1,900ms.
