Kagi slow? Post here!

Vlad here's a video with the network tab open with a 2-3 second search, then a quick search, then another 2-3 second search.

This is on a wired Ethernet connection with 1000/50Mbit internet, 2021 Macbook Pro M1 Pro, Firefox 101, location is Melbourne, Australia

Vlad it could just be because it's launch day but it's back to being slow - slower than ever actually, in an unrelated bug report you can see how long even settings take to load.

This occurs both on very strong wifi (wifi 6, maximum bars) with gigabit (ipv6) internet and on 5g speed testing 200mbps.

Vlad unfortunately still painfully slow to load and load responses.

Here are two videos comparing Kagi and Google - that doesn't have the performance issues:

Here is a Speedtest taken on the same connection and device: https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/i/5141669568

The latency to Kagi seems very high too:

However GCP latency looks ok:

Update - latency to Kagi seems to have dropped to around 550ms but the search performance is exactly the same.

Vlad that's made a very noticeable difference.

Searches now average between 1 and 2.2 seconds both on Firefox (desktop) and Safari (iOS).

Thanks for letting me know what it was too, always interesting to hear the cause of things like this!

Vlad it's looking really good, only had one slow response ("good music"):

(don't judge me for my silly example searches )

Connecting from Tokyo.

I know this issue has been closed, and I do see good performance when searching normally (about 1 second in most cases).

But there is an "edge case" which makes it very slow for me (feels like 3-4 seconds) - If I add a URL parameter &r=no_region to temporarily search without a region. I bookmarked this URL and gave it a shortcut so that I can get international results when needed, but it's apparently much slower than just normal searches. Not sure if you have looked into such cases before.
