# Web Push: Throttle Speed

If your website experiences difficulty handling large traffic spikes, you can enable throttling for [Single Web Push](/docs/create-a-single-web-push) notifications. This feature helps distribute Web Push deliveries more gradually, reducing sudden server load and improving performance.

## How to enable throttling

1. Navigate to **Web Push** > **Settings** > **General Settings**.
2. Enable the Throttle Web Push Speed option.

Once enabled, your [Single Web Push](/docs/create-a-single-web-push) notifications will be sent in batches rather than all at once.

## Throttling behavior

- Delivery rate is 1,000 notifications every 30 seconds.
- It applies to all Single Web Push notifications, including recurring ones.
- Sending speed and frequency cannot be customized.

> [!NOTE]
> If your site handles high traffic without issues, you can leave this feature disabled.
