> But I think that most people don't understand those kind of technicalities, and don't really care to know them. Sure but do they need to understands them to make this effective? It's effectiveness will come from people being able to say "this website is slow" instead of having to argue whether it's from their computer, their internet, etc... and in the end just being ignored. Not all of them will care to know, but enough will and be able to use that information to go much further with it. > I see it, as someone else put here, a "badge of shame". You can begin by saying that a sign in the middle of the ocean is absurd because it's obvious, yet it's a badge of shame. Everyone know it's slow but once it's only a badge of shame once it's been shown?... That's a bit incoherent. > First, what is fast depends on how the browser parses websites, so one website can be faster in Firefox but slower in Chrome, and still get a "badge of shame". Does it matter? If it's slow on Chrome, it's slow on Chrome... If someone would tell you it's currently slow on Chrome you would just answer: "Well it's fast on Firefox so change your browser"? I hope not... This badge is just a formal proof that it's slow on Chrome.
