Deployments are now up to 7 seconds faster

UpdateJul 30, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

Over the past few months, we've made deployments up to 7 seconds faster end to end. We removed up to 5 seconds of fixed platform overhead from every build, and deploys from the latest Vercel CLI save up to 2 seconds more. The improvements are most noticeable on smaller builds, where orchestration represents a larger share of the total build time.
