Try using a "modern" site on a spotty 2g connection.
Then realize that level of a connection is more common than you think. You never hear it elsewhere because those users just don't use your site, because they can't.
- bunderbunder 8y agoA lot of sites are even bad on a 3 or 4 megabit connection, if it's prime time and the Internet is being clogged by Netflix. That's not a particularly uncommon speed, either. If you pay too much attention to statistics about "average" home internet speed, you're likely to be optimizing for only the top quartile, because the distribution of home Internet speeds is highly skewed.
