Google has announced improvements in Search speed, with Rajan Patel stating that users save a collective 1 million hours daily due to these enhancements. While a noticeable speed increase of 67 milliseconds was mentioned in February, the cumulative benefits over the past two years are emphasized in their recent blog post. Historical context is provided, noting similar claims about speed improvements made in previous years, such as 100-150 milliseconds in 2014. However, there is some ambiguity regarding the timing of these improvements, particularly what 'recently' refers to in this context.
We recently made Search much faster. As a result, we're saving users a collective 1 million hours every single day - which means 100+ hrs saved in the time you took to read this tweet.
Collectively, over the past two years, these latency improvements have saved users over 1 million hours every single day.
In February, Google told us they made Search faster by 67 milliseconds - now that is a number.
Google said they sped up mobile search 100-150 milliseconds in 2014 and before that in 2013 by 200-400 milliseconds.
