A couple of minutes for a Pi3 to boot and get node-red started sounds about right.

After booting have a look at /var/log/syslog. In there you will see how long after rebooting node-red started. There isn't any way of making that faster that I know of other than getting a Pi4.

For the future please copy/paste text rather than screenshots where possible. Use the method described [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-share-code-or-flow-json/506) when pasting it in.

The log was rotated at 11:12 so will have to look in the previous log file for the start of the boot. The previous one is called /var/log/syslog.1  
Look for lines like  
`May 5 13:17:23 pi kernel: [00012.505925] .........`  
where the time in square brackets is the number of seconds since booting, so that line means that the kernel started up at 13:17:10. It takes a few seconds to get the point of starting the kernel so the power up will have been a few seconds before that.
