I'm curious how do you measure the performance? 7.2 seconds means the load time, domready time or something?

- thedufer 13y agoI believe it is time until the visible area is rendered. Neither domready nor load time are very meaningful since all of the interesting rendering happens in javascript, triggered by the onready event.
- chriskottom 13y agoThe article isn't clear on it, but there have been studies (http://baymard.com/blog/making-a-slow-site-appear-fast http://baymard.com/blog/making-a-slow-site-appear-fast) that show the perception of fast loading is actually more important than the real thing. Showing the user a "Loading..." graphic is the most common manifestation of this, but there are others. (Unfortunately, the original Forrester-Akamai study seems to be unavailable.)
