Hi,
I’m using the standalone mender as mentioned in the thread - here
I’m getting the below prints:

$ mender -rootfs https://encodable.com/uploaddemo/files/ccu-core-image-minimal-imx8dx_ccu.mender

When comparing to the Mender server, It is taking a lot of time for completing the deployment. Since, the mender client is same in both the cases, why the standalone taking a lot of time when mender server done it in minutes?

Hard to comment without more specifics,

“The Mender server” is a self-hosted server? Is it hosted at the same location as the URL that you are trying to use in standalone mode.

What kind of speed to you get using “wget” and the same URL that your are providing to mender in standalone mode?

What is the time difference?

Sorry for the confusion. It is not the problem with the mender client but, the URL server and speed.
Earlier I used Mender demo server and the speed was good. Now, I put it in a remote HTTPS server and the speed is very low.
In “wget” also I’m observing the same.
