# Package installation for v0 builds is now ~70% faster.

By Steven Van · 2025-09-08

Average npm install time for v0 builds fell from 5 seconds to 1.5 seconds after Vercel optimized dependency resolution and caching during builds.

Average npm install time for v0 builds dropped from 5 seconds to 1.5 seconds, a roughly 70% cut, after [Vercel](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>) changed how dependencies are resolved and cached during build execution.

The change comes on top of a [recent improvement to time-to-start](<https://vercel.com/changelog/faster-time-to-start-for-v0-builds>) for v0 builds, and Vercel says further reductions to install and build time are still in progress. Deploys go out through v0.app.
