Hi guys
My project is a robot controlled by blynk app through wifi using esp8266-07, I finished my project successfully and was able to control the robot using local server. Now I need advice to increase response time. Is threre any thing I can do to decrease the delay between sending command and response of the board (a delay of few seconds occurs some times) .
I use Local Server since the beginning and I have never seen a few seconds delay… Can you provide more details or the code you are using?

Hello. First you need to find out where delay happens. It could be anything. Starting from weak signal and ending with your code issue.
I agree, unfortunately I am at a bit of a loss on how to track down the frequent (and random) delays I also experience.
As I use USB link, I have often assumed that was the issue, however it is also part of the complication in troubleshooting as I can no longer use the debug monitor (well, technically I can, using software serial… but I have to free up some pins first 
)
And as I am still unfamiliar with how to interpret the Local Server Logs. I am thinking that some examples and tutorials on the basics of troubleshooting Blynk communication and latency issues might be handy?
Agree - some examples and information on interpreting server logs would be very helpful - I turned on trace and got a lot of info from the logs but unfortunately unable to decepher adequtely
hie i have never used local server
does it works without internet also ? right i mean when internet connection is down will local server work !!
Yes.
Even on my slow and very old Pi One everything runs very smooth. Most likely it’s a wifi issue. Try with wifi tools to identify if there are any other overlapping networks on the same channel (from neighbours etc).
After some researches and trying, assume it is a reset problem of esp, I will try later some stuf as inserting capacitor between 3.3 and gnd to minimize noise caused by motors. I will post results if anybody is interested.
How do i acess my local server from. Anywhere in blynk thank once again
Port forwarding with fixed IP or dyndns service.
