Awesome dApp, but too Slow? #DeadInTheWater

One of the most critical factors of choosing any app and continuing to use it, is its speed. When users can use an app to work quicker and achieve their goal, they are going to hang, but it’s a fact that when an app lags, they’re going to look to competitors for an alternative.
