At Nooks, we pride ourselves on our swift response times. Typically, Nooks takes just 0.5 to 1 second to detect whether an answering machine or a human has picked up a call. If you've observed your connection times exceeding that 1-second benchmark, you might be keen on enhancing it. We're wholeheartedly committed to ensuring your experience with us is unparalleled. Given the dynamic nature of browsers like Google Chrome, ensuring optimal resource usage is crucial. But fret not! With the right approach and our curated tips, you'll be on track in no time.

Steps to Improve Your Call Connection Time:

  1. Test Your Internet Connection: Gauge your internet's mettle. We recommend an optimal bandwidth of at least 50 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload to harmonize with Nooks' capabilities. Head over to Speedtest.net for a quick, accurate assessment.

  2. Limit Chrome Tabs: While Google Chrome is robust, it does have an appetite for resources. Keeping under 10 tabs open can free up necessary bandwidth and computational power.

  3. Prioritize Wired Connections: A direct Ethernet connection is often more steadfast and quicker than Wi-Fi. If feasible, opt for the wired route.

  4. Optimal Router Placement: A strategically placed Wi-Fi router can work wonders. A central, elevated location, clear from obstructions, is the sweet spot.

  5. Hold Off on Streaming: Activities like video streaming or hefty downloads can be bandwidth hogs. When on a Nooks call, consider sidelining these or shifting to a secondary device.

  6. Browser Updates: An up-to-date Google Chrome can be a game-changer. Regularly check for and apply the latest updates.

  7. The Good Old Router Restart: Sometimes, the oldest tricks are gold. A router reboot can often rectify niggling network issues.

  8. Analyze Call Recordings: After your call, review the recordings. Delve into the time difference between Nooks connecting and your speech initiation. A substantial gap can indicate connectivity woes.

  9. Your Nooks Support Network: If delays persist, don't hesitate to tap into the expertise of your Nooks Account Executive (AE) or Customer Success Manager (CSM). They're equipped to guide you on pre-recorded intros and activating performance mode for a seamless experience.

Armed with these insights and our unwavering dedication, we're confident you'll optimize your call connections to perfection on Nooks.in. Let's keep those conversations flowing seamlessly!
