# Speed improvements to the dashboard, website & job processing

The past month we dedicated time and resources into optimising the speed and experience of our public website, our dashboard and our behind-the-scenes uptime checks that we perform. Overall, our website and dashboard feels about **2x to 3x faster**.

The biggest gains are for our users that have > 100 sites on their dashboard, they'll get a noticeably faster loading time. For those biggest users, the dashboard is quite litterally _10x_ faster.

## What these results look like

This is the historical performance of our homepage for instance:

And one of our uptime location API endpoints:

![Oh Dear performance history chart with a spike to 896ms followed by response times flattening near zero](/media/blog/1HEzbWpII2U7qyCcl9f708IdWFgFDeGUVcYhqNZ1.png)

These graphs come from the [Oh Dear uptime monitoring we perform](/features/website-uptime-monitoring).

Over the next few blogposts, we'll share the details on how we identified which areas to focus on and how we implemented the performance improvements across the board.
