X has begun rolling out an updated web version for authorized users in stages—transitioning one country at a time. Meanwhile, the new version is already in use for visitors who are not logged into an account and for pages accessible to search engines.

According to the company's lead engineer, Yağız Nizipli, on a slow connection, the first post in a profile now appears in 2.7 seconds instead of the previous 22. The update also consolidates three server systems that previously handled users, search engine crawlers, and link previews.

Security researcher Jane Manchun Wong, who gained access to the new version, noted its fast loading speed and improved interface.
