Briefings

X announced a new web app version designed to improve speed for signed-in users by consolidating server infrastructure. Principal engineer Yagiz Nizipli stated that opening a profile on a slow connection previously took over 22 seconds, whereas the new version displays the X logo in just 2.7 seconds. The update replaces three separate servers with a single infrastructure to handle users, search crawlers, and link previews.

Key points

• X is rolling out an updated web app for signed-in users that reduces profile loading time from 22 seconds to 2.7 seconds.
• The new app consolidates three separate servers into one to improve performance for users and search crawlers.

Context

X is introducing a new version of its web app that it says is much faster than before, and it's now rolling out the updated app "one country at a time" for signed-in users.
