By default, Crisp shows statistics on your support response time in the live chat, before you reply to a user message. Below is an example of how it looks for the end user.

How to disable the average response time on your live chat?

*Here is how to proceed:*

• Go to your Crisp dashboard
• Head over to the *Settings* from the bottom-left icon
• Navigate to *Settings → Chatbox Settings → Chatbox Appearance*
• Enable the *Show activity metrics in the chatbox (eg: mean time to reply)* option

How to improve average response time?

Average response time is one of the most important metrics for your business. Especially if you're willing to make customer service one of your assets. Hiding average response time is not a good answer to your reactivity.

*Here is some advice we can give you to improve your average response time:*

• Create a workflow with AI Agent that will handle conversations when you can't (when you leave the office for example).
• Analyse your analytics (available from the Essentials plan) to understand *where your response time increases*.
• Improve internal collaboration by *using private notes & mentions*.

There are many other solutions, feel free to have a chat with us so we can give you our best advice.

Replacing the message

You can also replace this message and set your own. This can allow you to set a custom message, or simply change the response time displayed there. Note however that this is only possible on the *Mini*, *Essential* and *Plus* plans.

To do so, you'll need to head over to *Plugins > Customization* and look for the *Header: ongoing status metrics* message inside of the *Main texts* section
