- coldtea 10y ago>but at the end of the day if your page is >1mb I'm probably not going to wait for it to load Average size for the most popular sites has actually grown to ~ 2.5-3MB. And since they're the most popular, it shows that people DO wait just fine for them to load.
- elmigranto 10y agoSwitch "most popular" to "your site" and it will probably change user's desire to wait for it.
- coldtea 10y agoYeah, that's true. Also what I left out in my argument is that while popular already, they still might get increased in traffic if they were lighter.
- elmigranto 10y agoWhat's more relevant at Facebook's scale is dollars saved per kilobyte shrinked. Because majority of its users will tolerate almost anything at this point, including apps that crash randomly to measure loyalty.
