Why is Dust slow or my agent taking too long to respond?

If you're experiencing slow response times, here's how to diagnose:

Check your connection

• Test your internet speed
• Try a different browser (Chrome/Arc recommended)
• Clear browser cache and cookies

Agent configuration issues

Too many data sources:

• Agents with access to 10+ large data sources will be slower
• Solution: Limit to only essential data sources per agent

Complex tool chains:

• Agents using multiple tools (Search + Table Query + Browse) take longer
• Solution: Create specialized agents for different tasks

Large documents:

• Agents retrieving very large documents (>1MB) process slower
• Solution: Break large documents into smaller, focused pages

System status

Check https://dust.statuspage.io/ for:

• Current incidents
