# Speed Up Craft CMS Updates Using Composer

Posted on 19th August, 2020

This is super helpful when doing all your updates in Craft CMS in via composer. The composer plugin [prestissimo](https://github.com/hirak/prestissimo), downloads packages in parallel to speed up the installation process. To install use a global require.

```php
composer global require hirak/prestissimo
```
