+If you're using the `concurrency` option you might consider adding a slight delay before returning when warming up to ensure your function doesn't return before all concurrent requests have been started:
 
+```javascript

+  if (event.source === 'serverless-plugin-warmup') {
+    /** Slightly delayed (25ms) response for WarmUP plugin to ensure concurrent invocation */

 ## Deployment
 
 Once everything is configured WarmUP will run on SLS `deploy`.
