# ElevenLabs Performance Tuning

## Overview

Optimize ElevenLabs TTS latency and throughput through model selection, streaming strategies, audio format tuning, and caching. Latency ranges from ~75ms (Flash) to ~500ms (v3) depending on configuration.

The two highest-leverage, lowest-effort levers — model choice (Step 1) and output format (Step 2) — are documented inline below. The four deeper integrations (HTTP streaming, WebSocket streaming, caching, parallel generation) are summarized here with copy-ready code in [the full implementation walkthrough](references/implementation.md).

## Prerequisites

- ElevenLabs SDK installed (`@elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js`)
- An ElevenLabs API key exported as `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` (used by the SDK and passed as `xi_api_key` on the WebSocket handshake)
- Understanding of your latency requirements
- Audio playback infrastructure (browser, mobile, server-side)
