# The web app opens faster: sign-in is there almost at once > The sign-in and sign-up screens now appear almost at once, and on most computers the app downloads less than half as much on a first visit. Canonical: https://workspace369.com/changelog/2026-11-12-web-app-opens-faster/ Last updated: 2026-11-12 Workspace & team The sign-in and sign-up screens now appear almost at once, and on most computers the app downloads less than half as much on a first visit. ![Cut-paper illustration of a paper doorway swung wide open with warm amber light spilling out, beside the Workspace369 sign-up screen with an example email typed in.](https://workspace369.com/images/release-notes/2026-11-12-web-app-opens-faster/hero.webp) ## The sign-in screen is there almost at once Open the web app for the first time and, in most cases, the welcome, sign-up or log-in screen is on screen almost at once, while the rest of the app finishes loading behind it. You can read it and start typing straight away. When the app is ready it takes over with what you typed still in place, so you are not left waiting on a loading screen and have nothing to type twice. In our own tests on a connection slowed to laptop speed, the first screen showed up several times faster. That number comes from our tests, not from a promise for every network. It shows when nobody is signed in on that browser. If you are already signed in, or you arrive from an invite or another special link, the app opens as it always has. Signing up and logging in are handled by the app as before: the app itself creates the account or checks the sign-in once it has loaded. It is in the web app now, with nothing to switch on. - The sign-in and sign-up screens appear almost at once - Start typing right away - The app takes over with what you typed still there - Nothing to turn on The sign-up screen is ready at once, and the app takes over with your email still there.

In our own tests on a connection slowed to laptop speed, a first visit to the sign-up screen was about a quarter faster and a first visit that lands on the Dashboard was about a third faster. Coming back is quicker too: in the same tests a repeat visit to the sign-up screen was about a third faster. Results depend on your network. It is in the web app now, with nothing to switch on. - First download under half the size on most computers - About a quarter faster to sign-up on a first visit in our tests - About a third faster to the Dashboard on a first visit in our tests - Repeat visits to sign-up about a third faster in our tests Where to find it 1.

On a first visit, the welcome, sign-up and log-in screens now appear almost at once while the rest of the app loads behind them, and you can start typing right away. Do I lose what I type while the app loads? No. When the app is ready it takes over with the email and other details you typed still in place. Do I need to turn anything on? No. It is already on in the web app, and there is no setting to change. How much faster is it? In our own tests on a connection slowed to laptop speed, the first screen showed up several times faster. Results depend on your network. Does it change how sign-up and log-in work? No. The app itself still creates accounts and checks sign-ins once it has loaded. ## Related updates - [![Cut-paper illustration of a teal suggestion box with an amber light bulb card dropping into its slot and three paper arrows rising beside it, next to the Workspace369 Roadmap with a Suggest a feature panel open.](https://workspace369.com/images/release-notes/2026-11-09-roadmap-submit-and-vote/hero-800.webp)November 9, 2026**Vote on what we build next, and suggest your own, in the Roadmap**](https://workspace369.com/changelog/2026-11-09-roadmap-submit-and-vote/) - [![A navy release-notes plate titled Continue with Google, beside real phone renders of the Workspace369 login and sign-up screens with the Continue with Google button.](https://workspace369.com/images/release-notes/2026-11-09-continue-with-google/hero-800.webp)November 9, 2026**Continue with Google on login and sign-up**](https://workspace369.com/changelog/2026-11-09-continue-with-google/) - [![Navy plate with the title Hide Sidebar Pages You Don’t Use, dated November 5, 2026, beside a light and a dark phone render of the Workspace369 sidebar with Habits in the Hidden group.](https://workspace369.com/images/release-notes/2026-11-05-hide-sidebar-pages/hero-800.webp)November 5, 2026**Hide sidebar pages you don't use**](https://workspace369.com/changelog/2026-11-05-hide-sidebar-pages/) [All release notes](https://workspace369.com/changelog/)[Subscribe to the feed](https://workspace369.com/changelog/feed.xml) ## The web app opens faster: sign-in is there almost at once, in your own workspace Start your free trial, then find it under The web app. [Request a demo](https://workspace369.com/contact-sales/) 14-day free trial.
