title: Reduce initial server response time with Netlify and Gatsby
body: <p>I'm running <a href="https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PageSpeed Insights</a> on my website and one big error that I get sometimes is</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>Reduce initial server response time</strong></p>
  <p>Keep the server response time for the main document short because all
  other requests depend on it. Learn more.</p>
  <p>React If you are server-side rendering any React components, consider
  using <code>renderToNodeStream()</code> or <code>renderToStaticNodeStream()</code> to allow
  the client to receive and hydrate different parts of the markup
  instead of all at once. Learn more.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I looked up <code>renderToNodeStream()</code> and <code>renderToStaticNodeStream()</code> but I didn't really understand how they could be used with Gatsby.</p>
