X rolls out a much faster web app

X just made its website a lot quicker. The company is rolling out a rebuilt web app "one country at a time" for signed-in users and already uses it for the logged-out experience, The Verge reports. "Open a profile on X.com over a slow connection," principal engineer Yagiz Nizipli wrote in a blog post. "On the old web app, you'd stare at the X logo for more than 22 seconds before the first post appeared. On the new one, it shows up in 2.7." The rewrite also replaces the three servers X used to run for people, search crawlers and link previews with one. Security researcher Jane Manchun Wong, who has access, said it "feels snappy, loads fast and many parts are polished." From 22 seconds to 2.7: that is engineering, not talk.
