+title: Worker startup time limit increased to 1 second
+description: Worker startup time limit has been increased from 400 ms to 1s
+products:
+  - workers
+date: 2025-10-10
+---
+
+import { Render, TypeScriptExample, WranglerConfig } from "~/components";
+
+You can now upload a Worker that takes up 1 second to parse and execute its global scope. Previously, startup time was limited to 400 ms.
+
+This allows you to run Workers that import more complex packages and execute more code prior to requests being handled.
+
+For more information, see the documentation on [Workers startup limits](/workers/platform/limits/#worker-startup-time).

 ## Worker startup time
 
-A Worker must be able to be parsed and execute its global scope (top-level code outside of any handlers) within 400 ms. Worker size can impact startup because there is more code to parse and evaluate. Avoiding expensive code in the global scope can keep startup efficient as well.

 You can measure your Worker's startup time by deploying it to Cloudflare using [Wrangler](/workers/wrangler/). When you run `npx wrangler@latest deploy` or `npx wrangler@latest versions upload`, Wrangler will output the startup time of your Worker in the command-line output, using the `startup_time_ms` field in the [Workers Script API](/api/resources/workers/subresources/scripts/methods/update/) or [Workers Versions API](/api/resources/workers/subresources/scripts/subresources/versions/methods/create/).
