Are Third-Party Tools Secret Conversion Killers? [Infographic]
- Turing_Machine 15y agoSo around 23% of viewers will not only "abandon a site after three seconds" but then go on to "tell others about their negative experience"? That seems...dubious. The only times I've ever complained about site loading speed to others, or had others complain about it to me, is when it's a site that we visit repeatedly, either because it has compelling content, or because we're forced to use it (job requirement, your bank, some government agency you have to deal with, etc.). Anecdotal, I know, but I hang around with people who use the web a lot. Have others had a different experience?
- wccrawford 15y agoDepends on how they got to your site. If the link is from HN or Slashdot, then yeah, I'd -easily- believe that 23% will not only leave after 3 seconds but go post about it where they found the link.
- Shenglong 15y agoI'm definitely in that 23% - I don't know if I even wait 3 seconds, if it's not a site I'm familiar with. Usually if I click a link, and some content doesn't appear within 1 second, I click something else. More, when I'm frustrated and things load slowly, I curse and gripe. Considering I share a suite with others and I'm usually on Ventrilo or Skype, someone usually hears me. I've actually heard people I've complained to say "that site is really slow" in conversation when the site came up, even though I doubt they've actually been to it. I know it's a little irrational, but it's habit.
- gte910h 15y agoI think at a point they think the site is broken and leave. I know my wife definitely clicks away really quickly (compared to me).
