Nobody writes in to say \u0026quot;wow, that page loaded quickly,\u0026quot; but everybody notices when it doesn\u0026#39;t. A reader who\u0026#39;s already a little frustrated.

In practice that means your docs feel near-instant, whether someone\u0026#39;s landing on your homepage, digging through search, or opening the one article that\u0026#39;s about to save their afternoon.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch1\u003eWhy we did this\u003c/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaster pages aren\u0026#39;t just a nicer feeling, they do real work for you. Readers find answers before they give up and open a ticket. Search engines reward the speed, so your docs show up more often. And on a shaky hotel wifi connection or a phone with two bars, the difference between \u0026quot;loads\u0026quot; and \u0026quot;loads eventually\u0026quot; is the difference between a reader you helped and one you lost.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe also just think this stuff should be quick. You put the work into your content — it should show up as fast as your readers can ask for it.\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch1\u003eWhat you need to do\u003c/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing 🙂\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is already live for every knowledge base, on every plan. No settings to flip, no toggles to find, no migration. Open your docs and they should simply feel snappier.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you\u0026#39;ve got a knowledge base you\u0026#39;d call big (thousands of articles, lots of traffic) we\u0026#39;d love to hear how it feels now.
