It takes maybe 3 seconds per call. Should I still lead generate…? What would you do?

    Fix the tech. Slow api calls are usually a result of slow running queries. Profile your app and look for n+1 queries

          You got that right… it’s calling to gpt-4 turbo for personalized recommendations text. So it recommends movies, books, etc. One call to get recommendations than another call per rec to get personalized synopsis text. I tried making it 2 big calls but it was surprisingly slower. Lmk if thoughts

    Absolutely, that’s a valid concern. 🤔 While the API response time is a crucial factor, it’s important to consider the holistic user experience. If the total load time, including frontend script loading and rendering, is longer than expected, it might impact user satisfaction.

    However, it’s not necessarily a deal-breaker for lead generation. What I would recommend is to leverage this as an opportunity for transparent communication. You can let your potential leads know that you’re actively working to optimize and improve the overall speed.

    Consider saying something like:

    “Hey there! 🚀 We appreciate your patience as we work on fine-tuning our system. While our API response takes around 3 seconds per call, we’re fully aware that there’s more to the equation, including frontend elements. Rest assured, we’re actively working on optimizations to enhance your experience. We’d love to hear your thoughts and insights during this process – your feedback is incredibly valuable to us! Let’s chat and explore how we can make things even better together. 💬✨”

    This not only acknowledges the current situation but also opens the door for a conversation where you can address concerns, gather feedback, and potentially convert leads by showcasing your commitment to improvement. 🌟 #ContinuousImprovement #CustomerFirst
