Why Steemit is so slow, or is it just me ?

Speed of Steemit varies from devise to devise.
Different devise give different experience, when it comes to surfing Steemit. Using computer system to surf Steemit, using android, using iOS and other devices, have varying experience like appearance graphics and even speed.

As for myself, I am using an Android smartphone and Steemit is not slow with me here.

Using esteem App could sometimes seem slow because the App works much faster on a high RAMed device. Since my devise can't seem to handle the App's speed, I have been using browsers to surf Steemit instead.

Meanwhile, some browsers don't seem to surf/access Steemit relatively fast enough; for instance, on my Android device, I only use chrome to surf Steemit because it gives me fast surfing.

So, check your device RAM, BROWSER, NETWORK CONNECTION.
steemit is a fast platform, so smart!
