# API response time cut from 15 seconds to 1.6 seconds

*8 November 2026 · Performance, Cloudflare*

API response time was around 15 seconds. It has now been dropped to 1.6s. That's 89% faster than the original timing.

Most of the remaining time is outside SQL execution, with roughly 220–265 ms per D1 database round trip.

Happy Diwali!
