Steemit is noticeably faster.

I'm approaching my first Steemit birthday and I've seen Steemit slow down or stop all together many times over the course of my first year. Things however appear to be picking up. I've noticed over the last few weeks that Steemit is seriously faster.

I'm wondering what has changed. At first I thought that maybe that number of Steem transactions are down due to the crypto slump. However, compared to when I started, the number of daily transactions are way up. There are many more front ends and apps using Steem blockchain since I've started. My guess is it is something to do with the nodes. Something is different. Better software, better nodes, or something else?

Have you noticed it too? What do you think is causing the change?

Let's get to the bottom of this. Please remember to Upvote, Resteem, and Follow. Thank you.
