Apparently 2.5 days out of a year, if you add up the seconds, you’re waiting for slow loading websites. I don’t know where this number really comes from. I wouldn’t add of my total time for that, but I’m on broadband and don’t surf aimlessly. When I design a web page or a web application my goal is to trim out the fluff and to get you, the user, on your way. You don’t need junk, you need working solutions that get you what you need. Sure, I want it to look nice, but I don’t write pages that make you mad at me because I’m holding you back.

As a designer, a developer, an ISP, a host or whatever: do your part to reduce this number.
