- radicalriddler 6y agoI refreshed the lite version on a search, and didn't even realise when it refreshed...
- freediver 6y agoLooking at the network inspector, "lite" version search results load in about 900ms - 1.4sec for non-cached queries. That is fast only compared to the rest of the "big web" maybe, but not _that_ fast in absolute terms (and for context, Google full search results load in usually that much). The bottleneck for DuckDuckGo is probably the Bing API (usually 600-700ms response) for which there is no way around. If you want to see a fast web search engine try https://rightdao.com https://rightdao.com I am not affiliated with them in any way. But their search results come back at 70ms (with network latency included) and that is darn impressive!
- Semaphor 6y ago740ms for a new search without local caching and for a query that was probably not searched for. Not amazing, but a lot faster than your result. rightdao is 755ms, no real difference I’d say.
- freediver 6y agoRightdao is about 70ms for me, could be they are in bay area and not world-wide. Impressive nevertheless, nothing on the web loads in 70ms for me. That is 10x faster than DuckDuckGo Lite.
- 8bitsrule 6y agoIf you're getting the results you need at that speed - great! Else, the speed doesn't matter.
