## Summary

The post discusses common techniques for optimizing web backend performance, focusing on issues related to high response times. It categorizes optimization strategies into three main layers: Application, Database, and Infrastructure. Key methods include optimizing algorithms, using asynchronous functions, leveraging concurrency, indexing databases, scaling databases, data compression, using CDNs, upgrading to HTTP/2 or HTTP/3, and replicating infrastructure. Continuous measurement and testing are emphasized to ensure effectiveness.
