500ms is the 75th percentile speed, so 75% of users are having load times faster than that. For context, Google's synthetic p75 loads emulate a crappy old Android phone on a bad network. A linked post[0] says their p75 was 1400ms before 2023, yowza. [0] https://shopify.engineering/improving-shopify-app-s-performance https://shopify.engineering/improving-shopify-app-s-performa...

2 seconds to wait for a webpage to load isn’t even that bad. If you take an average user on facebook it is horrendously slow - to someone who knows how fast something can be - but no typical user cares/notices. They just accept it. Nike’s website is phenomenally quick. But again. Ask anyone if that is what they care about. Nope. It’s the shoes.

  Then there's McMaster Carr, which has great service, but all anyone seems to want to talk about is how snappy their site is!

    Used to work for a competitor. It’s not just the speed, it’s an amazing site all around; they know their customers and cut out all the fluff.

      Even more amazing is that it has always been that good, since 20 years ago at least.

> so 75% of users are having load times faster No. It on a request basis, meaning that one in a four clicks a user does take more than half a second to complete. Slow times for as low percentiles as 75 mean users hit the bad cases very often in practice.
