# Latency Sensitivity (AI Retrieval) (LSA)

Real-time AI surfaces tolerate only a few seconds for source fetches.

Slow servers get cut from the answer. AI engines that need to compose an answer in real time (chatbots, AI Overviews) have hard latency budgets - slow-responding sites are dropped silently. Geordy's CDN serving and lightweight file formats minimize this risk.
