Twitter.com Is Now 5X Faster (And URLs Are Shorter, Too)

Twitter’s engineering team has been hard at work behind the scenes these past few months, making Twitter.com faster and more streamlined.

Unless you’re a computer engineer, exactly how they did it might be a bit too technical (but if you’re interested you can read about it on their engineering blog), but the end result is a good one: faster load times, shorter URLs and reduced differences across browsers.

Loading Twitter.com now takes 1/5th the time it used to take – that means it’s five times faster and gets you tweeting sooner.
