Cydia Got a Speed Boost

Jailbreak means installing Cydia on your iOS device as an alternative App Store in which you can install tweaks and apps. As most of our readers use Cydia, you must have noticed it was very slow. Jay Freeman, the brain behind Cydia, has greatly improved Cydia response times and gives it a speed boost.


Freeman has announced the news today on his twitter account telling us that he has switched Cydia's server to the new CDN-ELB stack, this improves request times from 0.45s to 0.25s. He also showed three graphs which indicates the results for 3 months of server work.

Just switched Cydia's www over to the new "CDN->ELB" stack I've been building: requests to / from my apartment are down from 0.45s to 0.25s!
