If the Web page is slow, users go away fast

Is the instant gratification of getting a Google answer making us prefer life in the fast lane for everything?

One thing is certain: if a web page is slow, users disappear fast.

Even top sites like Google and Amazon lose Web users if their response is less than a second slower than normal. Shoppers will desert a Web page that takes more than 4 seconds to load. Mobile users will wait a tad longer – 10 seconds – before giving up.
