FAQ - Why is my Bitcoin transaction delayed?
There are mainly two factors that influence the transaction time.
1. Low Transaction fees
2. Total network activity
1, Low transaction fees usually cause delays in confirming a bitcoin transaction, because most miners target transactions with a high fee-to-byte ratio because these fees are incentives to the miners.
2, Transactions are also delayed because of mempool congestion, this means unconfirmed bitcoin is stored in the mempool waiting to be confirmed by miners. If there are more transactions on the network, a delay in transactions is going to occur.
A higher fee can process your transaction in very little time, you can also monitor your bitcoin transaction via blockchain explorer.
