slow response
Late reaction time
A slow response is a reply that takes longer than expected.
The phrase often appears in customer service contexts where delayed answers frustrate users: We apologize for the slow response to your inquiry.
In computing, slow response describes laggy system feedback.
Between people, a slow response to a text or email may signal disinterest—or just being busy.
