Congratulations to chess.com, whose content and functionality steadily improves over time. I thought the slow loading time was due to my computer's oldness, but maybe not?

PolarChess posted an interesting link (but I can't comment on it since he has blocked me.)
It shows that Chess.com is ranked #1458 in world website traffic and is almost in the top 1000 of websites in the US. The world ranking has improved from about # 2000 to #1458 over the last year. I guess that is pretty good for chess. Perhaps it reflects the success of the phone apps.
Also that the source of visitors is:
I guess I am not surprised that India is #2.
It also says that Chess.com is slow loading.
How fast does chess.com load?
Slow (2.298 Seconds), 66% of sites are faster.
No big surprise there either although I thought that the slow loading was mostly a problem for overseas users.
