I have been finding Steemit.com really slow lately, when casting votes the website may take a couple of seconds to respond. I have been using Busy.org as a faster alternative, but I wanted to check if this was just a perception of mine or if Busy was really faster, so I headed to tools.pingdom.com for a quick speed test
Steemit.com
Busy.org
As you can see on the screenshots above Busy.org is almost 6 times faster than Steemit.com.
Steemit has been getting over 100k daily visitors per day lately, so its understandable that Busy, which has a lot less traffic, would be faster. For now I am happy to have different GUI alternatives to browse and interact with the Steem Blockchain, but in the future I hope Steemit.com improves their load and response times.
