Frustration over
congestion issues in the Internet infrastructure and the high
latency that results in slow browsing has led to a pejorative name for the World Wide Web: the
World Wide Wait. Speeding up the Internet is an ongoing discussion over the use of
peering and
QoS technologies. Other solutions to reduce the congestion can be found at
W3C.
Guidelines for web response times are:
- 0.1 second (one tenth of a second). Ideal response time. The user does not sense any interruption.
- 1 second. Highest acceptable response time. Download times above 1 second interrupt the user experience.
- 10 seconds. Unacceptable response time. The user experience is interrupted and the user is likely to leave the site or system.
