Query response time

Response time is a critical aspect of the Web Security Analytics performance. The average response time largely depends on various factors, including:

  • network conditions,
  • volume of processed data,
  • complexity of your queries.

Typically, you can expect responses for standard queries and data retrieval within 7 seconds.

However, during peak usage or when dealing with intricate data analyses, response times might vary.
