In 2013 Amazon (I think) estimated that 1 second delay would cost you 7% of your sales.
And while most developers know this there are still developers creating slow and bloated sites.
So this site is also nice, but I don't think it will change anything. Unless the loss would be cut from the developers paycheck.
- dageshi 10y agoCut from the designers paycheck... Most of the size in modern sites is due to developers building out the design they've been given.
- ashark 10y agoYeah, it's not developers pushing video header backgrounds, ten analytics packages, and form designs that require 2mb of JS, CSS and images to achieve cross-browser. Designers, marketing/growth-hackers. Clients. Developers aren't blameless but we can only push back so much (usually very little—few trust us on design/ux, even when we're right)
- Phenix88be 10y agoThank you !
- driverdan 10y agoIt depends on the site. Most page weight from the stuff you view on mobile is from unnecessary JS libs and ads.
- Cerlinea 10y agoThe problem with this data is that it's based on averages etc over billions of customers. It doesn't hold any direct meaning. IE; If you increased the speed of your site by 1 second, it doesn't mean you would increase sales by 7%.

- JustSomeNobody 10y agoNo, developers are not creating slow and bloated sites. This is merely a side effect. They are optimizing for developer productivity without a care for the end user at all.
