Everyone knows the importance of your web site loading times, but how well do you know your audience? The infographic below gives a great break down of just how long your site visitors are willing to wait for your web page to load. The numbers are quite scary, so make sure you always have the fastest running web site as possible.
- 57% of online consumers will abandon a site after waiting 3 seconds for a page to load
- 80% of these people will not return to your site
- Of these… Almost half will go on to tell others about their negative experience
Make sure this doesn’t happen to you and your web site!

Please give credit to the original creator of the infographic! Fortunately it’s on this image, but many it’s not. And when the quality isn’t great, it’s frustrating to not find a higher quality version. I’m much less likely to share it when the quality is lower. Less links, less traffic :-/
