Why is lemmy.ca so much faster than lemmy.world? (self.support)

I've mostly been a .world user, but have this alt account on .ca as a backup. I logged into it to make sure I didn't have anything in my inbox, and noticed that everything loads so much faster. In both cases I'm using the browser interface from my tablet, sorting by all. On .world, there's a pause before the text comes up, then the thumbnails and graphics slowly populate. On .ca, it all pretty much loads instantly.

Is it just the number of users being a lot bigger? More community activity? Hardware differences? Running different software versions? A combination of these? I'm curious.

Excellent, thank you. I just cleared my cache and it does seem to have helped a fair amount. Not nearly as fast as in a private window, but probably as fast as .ca is now. Much appreciated, I'm glad I asked.

I guess that would explain why people who access it with an app don't seem to have the same issue, correct?

probably, this caching is just affecting the default lemmy web interface.

other apps or web interfaces may have their own caching implementations, though for web based stuff it's typically fine to leave it up to the browser, as long as there are suitable cache-control headers sent by the server.
