I really haven’t noticed any difference to be honest

I suppose it may not be the same for everyone as it depends on how far you are from the server (site speed becomes less of a factor compared to transmission speed if you are a great distance away – ie in the US) and personal internet connection speed is also a factor.
Good to hear it’s faster for at least some of us. 🙂

It certainly seems faster to me, today. Though I didn’t notice much difference when you originally posted it.
If the speed improvement is due to changes in the client side code, rather than changes in the server itself, that could be expected behaviour. Browsers generally keep static files (especially css and javascript) in cache and only refresh them when they become stale (maybe a day or two, maybe even weeks) unless the name of the files are changed too.
The difference, I would say, is that pages now load in an acceptable time (which is probably the best you can achieve when relying on third party servers and software). A year ago, I was always sat looking at the washing machine icon for very much longer before seeing any content.
For anybody that’s not yet seeing any speed improvement, I suggest trying control-F5 for the specific slow page on a windows browser, command-F5 on a mac, or look up how to do a hard refresh your mobile browser.
Don’t follow the reckless advice often given by incompetent or lazy technical support people to completely clear all cache and cookies. Although that may have a side effect of speeding up the site you are on, it will also slow down every other site that you have ever visited and may cause loss of preferences.

@shynudedude83I probably wouldn’t have even thought of it if I hadn’t seen this post but I suppose it is maybe a little bit faster, but again if it’s only one second faster I guess that’s hard to notice sometimes, but I do think it might be slightly faster. But again if somebody hadn’t actually specifically asked that question it probably never would have occurred to me.
