Summary
X is migrating signed-in users to a rebuilt web app in a country-by-country rollout after already deploying the rewrite for logged-out visitors and search-crawled pages.
22 seconds to 2.7 seconds is the speed gain X highlighted for loading a profile over a slow connection, according to principal engineer Yagiz Nizipli.
One server now replaces three separate systems previously used for users, search crawlers and link previews, a change X said underpins the faster experience.
Jane Manchun Wong, who said she had access to the new app, described it as snappy, fast-loading and more polished, signaling early positive feedback as the rollout expands.
