> Bandwidth is not the issue anymore, but latency. Bandwidth is also the issue, but most web devs or website owners don't seem to realise or care that most of the world is probably struggling with their page weight. Internet speeds are more disparate now than in the 90s, but this issue tends to be made opaque by available bandwidth statistics... There are no distribution statistics available at all. Instead bandwidth stats are always aggregated as a regional average, and worse those samples tend to be from voluntary subset (at least in my country). Even when the median is used, it conceals a significant bandwidth divide due to communication technology gaps. The bandwidth distribution could be roughly inferred more accurately by grouping the averages by communication technology rather than region - this way a large number of very poor bandwidth users aren't concealed by a handful of super fast gigabit fiber connections or a marginal majority of fiber connections. There's a huge number of households still stuck with ADSL, 100% fiber is a very long way off (will probably never have full coverage, expecting LTE to fill this gap) and there is a huge gap between these technologies. To compound this issue households have to share connections between multiple people and increasingly hungry devices that don't respect users data usage (looking at Apple's massive inefficient update images in particular).
