I learned three thresholds over the years. Well, one of them decades ago and the others recently. Basically:
At 50ms, you notice.
At 400ms, you care.
At 2000ms, without output, you wonder if it crashed. (That was the old one.)

That must have been a really, really long time ago indeed, because there are very few websites now that take less than 2000ms to load. The linked site didn’t even come close on my phone (probably 3-4 seconds), and I most certainly didn’t wonder whether it had crashed.

Your phone probably showed something after you clicked the link but before the page rendered: Link highlight change, a progress bar, etc. If your phone had crashed and the browser was non-responsive, you would have recognized it quickly. More quickly than the page load time.
- zahlman 3mo agoYes, exactly what I meant. (FWIW, the original context was J2ME mobile games. It was important to use as few classes as possible to keep JAR size down; but in my testing, everything put into the entry-point class had to be loaded before the program would get past an initial black screen.)
- Crunchified 3mo agoI'm finding more and more web sites that won't load at all until I request them a second time.
- dylan604 3mo agomaybe the site's debouncing logic on the buttons isn't working well
- thenthenthen 3mo agoI dunno man, i am In China.. everything outside of it takes at least 2000-5000 ms to even start responding on a good day
- inigyou 3mo agoThat is your government trying to block you
- aa-jv 3mo agoIn the audio/synth world, the lower bound is 8ms, as in, anything above this can become bothersome to the musician. I've heard it stated that this is also the threshold for fighter pilot control systems providing feedback.
