Website speed matters.
Obvious, right? Everyone knows this, and we do what we can to help the speed performance of a website. From CDN to multiple tweaks, we do what we can to increase our website load time.
I always thought that it was a perceived speed. Meaning that, I thought if it felt fairly fast, it was fast enough.
After combing over this infographic, I now see that even a 100-millisecond slow-down can have huge effects:
Time to speed things up?

our website was taking 38 seconds the other day i think it is due to our advertisers javascript bugs.

I had to pull an ad off of my wife’s blog, since it was hanging-up her page. I also had a client who’s page delayed because of a Facebook badge on the sidebar would slow it down. Luckily, I just called it later in WordPress, so it would load the main content first, however, it still hurt the load time.
