Summarize Infography on Timeout
I) Timeout & Failsafe
Context:
Within the UI, check Timeout Rates (by site, device, country, and potentially adUnits) + client-side setup within prebid. Also check buffer as final auction timeout = timeout + buffer.
Actions:
- Increase timeout config if the timeout rates are high
- Remove an SSP from the wrapper or from a country if no/low revenue + high timeout rates
- If already high timeout config, think about bidderSequence solutions or use secondary auction
In addition, you can use Failsafe Timeout.
Context:
Failsafe is a backup plan when prebid code breaks. It allows your stack to call the adserver if an issue occurs in prebid
Actions:
Check if failsafe timeout is set. If not, it should be set to a higher timeout than your “classic timeout”
