X's new web version reduces first post load time on slow networks to 2.7 seconds
X states that the new x.com reduces the time to display the first post on a user's profile from over 22 seconds in the old version to 2.7 seconds, even on slow networks. The new version uses a single server to serve visitors, search crawlers, and link preview services, while pre-rendering content with streaming HTML. The comparison is based on lab tests, and actual performance will vary depending on the device and network.
The new version is already serving unauthenticated users, while authenticated users are being migrated gradually by country. The old version will continue to run during the migration period, and X can adjust traffic using edge routing and feature flags. The old version will be retired once the full migration is complete.
