Now when i am thinking about it , In my project i am going to use local server i mean the same computer where the router is going to be connected , Can i connect to this host some how "locally" to shorten the connecting+sending time , something like home network through esp ?
Hmm my computer host server and i connect trough wifi so i should make port forward with port 80 to my computer , so inside host for Begin function i will put my router ip ? am I on the right direction ?
Will it reduce the time ?
Is this what i am looking for ? UDP ?

Port forwarding is only relevant if your wish to access internal devices from outside your net.
For speed, of course, providing IP instead of hostname, the connect get quicker because in doesn't rely on any DNS.
