Look at page speed vs. bounce rate in Google Analytics for any well-trafficked site. People are frequently casually clicking around, and the faster you have content up on the screen the more casual users will engage.
By analogy, to get into a different mindset, think about channel-surfing on the TV. If other channels show a picture in 0.2s, and as you flip around there's a channel that takes 0.8s to show a picture, are you more or less likely to surf past the slow channel?
- Joeboy 12y agoThank you for replying! I got a staggering number of unexplained downvotes before anybody was prepared to talk to me. Thinking about it I can well believe that if you want people to stay on your site and click around, probably because you want to show them ads or products, a small delay will impact on the number of clicks. I would imagine that's not the motivation for most github pages sites though.
