First connection to ssl enabled website takes 10 seconds
Last update: 4 August 2017
Summary
The connection to a service that is secured secured with SSL/TLS (https://) takes up to 10 seconds.
Information
When establishing a connection to a site secured with SSL/TLS, some browsers verify the sites certificates for revocation by querying the issuing certificate authority.
When the connection to the revocation list is not possible, for example due to a firewall, the connection is held for about 10 seconds until a timeout is triggered
Solution
Ensure that browsers that verify certificates against revocation lists are able to connect to the certificate authorities in question
