Apache 2.4 long delay before first response

apache-2.4centos7lag

I've test server (Centos 7) in my local network with Apache 2.4. All works fine, but each time after about 1 hour of inactivity Apache responding with a lag about 4.8 sec. Next requests proccesed very fast (1-5 ms).

The lag appears AFTER connection (connect – 1ms, request sent – 1ms, waiting TTFB – 4.8s). The problem occurs regardless type of requested source (html page, html +php or just image). Another network applications works w/o lags.

IPv6 disabled. IP and port configured in httpd.conf:


ServerRoot "/etc/httpd"

Does it happen for a single or connection ? If after an hour you initiate a connection from client A, will client B have a fast response too or not ?

If not, then it's probably related to the keepalive timeout. If yes, then it could be something related to caches
