# Query time

Under **Settings → Application Settings → Query time**, admins can monitor the performance by showing the time taken to load each chart. This visibility helps teams understand performance trends, troubleshoot delays, and optimize user experience—especially when working with large datasets or live connections.

Displaying query time offers transparency into system performance and can help:

* Identify slow-performing charts
* Improve responsiveness for end users

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.tellius.com/tellius-5.6/settings/application-settings/query-time.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
