Busy vs Steemit: Speed Comparison
I have been finding [Steemit.com](www.steemit.com) really slow lately, when casting votes the website may take a couple of seconds to respond. I have been using [Busy.org](https://busy.org) as a faster alternative, but I wanted to check if this was just a perception of mine or if Busy was really faster, so I headed to [tools.pingdom.com](https://tools.pingdom.com) for a quick speed test

## Steemit.com

## Busy.org

![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/img.steemconnect.com/chitty/b4a79faf.png)

As you can see on the screenshots above Busy.org is almost 6 times faster than Steemit.com. 

Steemit has been getting over 100k daily visitors per day lately, so its understandable that Busy, which has a lot less traffic, would be faster. For now I am happy to have different GUI alternatives to browse and interact with the Steem Blockchain, but in the future I hope Steemit.com improves their load and response times.

Both platforms use the same blockchain technology and both are in Beta. When you write in Steemit, your post automatically is published in Busy and vice versa. The two platforms are just different interfaces for the Steem blockchain. Busy is very new, so don’t get frustrated

This puts things in perspective! Thanks. Im so used to steemit, although I do like the busy interface better.

Steemit is indeed getting slower. Hey thats a good problem to have?

Personally I just discovered Busy.org and I prefer it than Steemit.com because of the interface but a mix between Steemit and Busy can be the perfect match

It's always great to have options. Thanks for sharing this information though. I think when I have more of a chance I'll use busy more, but I'm sticking to esteem and steemit for the most part.

It has been really awkward to use Steemit lately, 20-30% of the time the site doesn't register my vote or comment, so I have to refresh the page and try upvoting/commenting again. The thing is, I am used to Steemit's interface, but I'll have to give busy.org a go if is considerably faster at the moment.

I think this shows one of the many strengths of blockchain based social media versus legacy social media. We can use the same underlying platform, in this case the steem blockchain, and yet interact on it with different interfaces. This will allow individuals to find the interface that they enjoy the best while also making attacks like the recent DDOS on steemit futile. Oh steemit is down today? No problem, I can hop on busy for the day.
