Significant Speed and Stability Improvements
Published on May 3, 2019
Yesterday we rolled out a significant improvement to real-time connection systems that power our social walls that reduced latency, errors, and reconnections.
Most of the improvements gained were due to one notable and unexpected thing we saw—an immediate reduction to the number of dropped connections and reconnects.
Because we were no longer erroneously causing reconnects, our concurrent connections was reduced by 8x and latency has significantly improved.

Not only did improving our websocket systems giving us all of these benefits, we also turned on Cloudflare’s Argo Smart Routing offering to speed up how fast data from our website and social walls get from our servers to you.
In regions where we do not have local servers (basically, anywhere outside of the US and EU) our customers and website visitors should now see faster speeds.
Looking for more to read in our Changelog?
Today we added a new page to the dashboard that provides details for accessing your wall via our APIs. On this new page, you can get the embed code for embedding your social wall onto your website, (Social Media Hubs now have their own dedicated page) get the URLs for a JSON or XML feed for any custom integrations you want to do, as well as provide ways for you to gain access to the Full API we offer or Everwall Connect. We’re excited to see how you’ll integrate Everwall!
We’ve added a ton of new fonts to Everwall, bringing our total supported fonts to nearly 50. These fonts come from multiple foundries and encompass nearly every one of the web’s most popular fonts.
