As you must be knowing the rate determing steps are the ones which undergoes very slow in the reaction.
In the haloform test ,Under basic conditions, the ketone undergoesketo-enol tautomerization. The enolate undergoes electrophilic attack by the hypohalite (containing a halogen with a formal +1 charge).

This is the slowest step and it determines the rate.
