Took between 1.2 and 1.8s for a full fresh load, for me.

https://mastodon.social loads in under a second, for me.

Now use nitter and create your account, login, and tweet something. If you can't, you didn't compare.

Weird. Anecdotal I think. Maybe something with your instance. Mastodon UI is quick and snappy for me. I migrated away from mastodon.social when the influx from Twitter made that server very slow (it has since scaled up significantly).

Hmm, compare for https://elk.zone , is it still slow? For me it is almost instant.

With an empty cache, five seconds for the full layout, one further second for images. With a populated cache, four seconds to load everything at once. And also requires unblocking JavaScript for no good reason. Sure, not as bad as twitter.com, but that’s damning with faint praise.

Both of these load instantly for me.
