# Performance and Speed

Movebot has been built architecturally to be optimized for speed. In most cases, this means you will not need to make any adjustments to settings for your migration to perform quickly. There are however a few details that are useful to understand when trying to determine how quickly your migration will run.

### Rate-limiting

For most migrations, rate-limiting is going to be the number #1 bottleneck. Rate-limiting is a mechanism used by API providers to prevent abuse and to limit the impact of buggy API consumer applications on other customers.

Most cloud storage providers implement some level of rate-limiting and it's important to be aware of this as a limiter of your migration's performance.

**Identifying rate-limiting**

If your migration is being impacted by rate-limiting, it will be visible in the Performance Advisor graphs. The Performance Advisor provides a project-level summary of performance metrics.&#x20;

**What can be done about rate-limiting**

Generally, we are at the mercy of the cloud platforms in terms of rate-limiting, but there are a few tricks with each platform if things are not progressing as quickly as you would like.&#x20;

If you believe rate-limiting has become a problematic bottleneck in your migration project, reach out to our team via <support@movebot.io> and we can take a look at your project.
