- lllr_finger 9y agoIt's not a technical problem at all, and it's not the developers being bad. If the top 1000ish sites can make millions a year from tacking on Outbrain, Taboola, etc. and the analytics to support those revenue streams, why do they care if the page speed is 3 seconds vs 500ms?
- sureaboutthis 9y agoThe faster the site, the longer a visitor stays and the more likely they are to purchase. Even Google acknowledges that as well as many other sites that study such things. Sites don't gain income by just displaying an ad in many cases. You have to have visitors click on them and, often, make an actual purchase.
