Speed, speed, speed

Database improvements help Timetoast timelines and embedded timeline pages load faster across the site.

You may have noticed that Timetoast got a whole lot faster this past weekend. We've been hard at work to bring you an even snappier timeline experience, and it's resulted in massive performance gains.

By completely reengineering the way that the Timetoast database works we've more than halved the time it takes to load each page on the site. This speed boost also covers any timelines you may have embedded on your own website.

I'm sure you'll find this recent performance upgrade to be a substantial improvement over the old version. I also look forward to sharing an exciting new feature we've been working on soon, but a little more about that later.
