# Real-time API is now more real(er?)-time 🏎️

[date: 2026-08-05T16:51:55.482+02:00]

If you've been building on our [Real-time API](https://www.datocms.com/features/real-time-api.md), you know the drill: you fire a mutation, then wait ~1.5–2.5s before the change lands in the browser.

That wasn't very "real time", so we dug into speeding things up, and that wait is gone.

Updates now show up in roughly ⚡️ **100–500ms ⚡️**
