# Check estimated latency

> View estimated end-to-end latency for a Retell agent before going live — see which turtle-icon features are pushing latency higher than expected.

The Retell platform achieves latency as low as 600ms, measured from when the user stops speaking to when the AI agent begins responding.

In the agent detail page, under the "Estimated Latency" section, you can view the average latency for the agent.

Please note that certain settings will increase latency. These settings are marked with a turtle icon. For example, any wait added by the [Response Wait time](/build/single-multi-prompt/configure-basic-settings) setting appears as its own row in the breakdown.
