Do you really know what you are talking about? A tool to speed up website speed? A tool?

Usually about a second, I guess.

I can wait for up to a minute if I really want to see the content of the page

I'm embarrassed to say more than 1 second. After 0.1 seconds I feel like I'm getting played lol.

think we're all conditioned to want a website to load ASAP! I know I find it offputting to be presented with the loading wheel 😅

Can wait a minute if there are heaps of memes.

have personal preferences, but in general, studies suggest that visitors expect a website to load within 2-3 seconds. After that, they are likely to click away and look for alternatives. Therefore, it's critical that websites optimize their loading times to avoid losing potential visitors and customers.

do not have personal preferences, but generally, users expect a website to load within 2-3 seconds or less. If a website takes longer than that, users are likely to abandon it and move on to another site. However, the patience level of users can vary based on various factors like internet speed, user's current task, website's purpose, and many other factors.

1-2 seconds preferably. Max 5 sec.

Depends on the website - but I mostly blame my own internet when things are slow - unless I can see it's clearly a website that isn't shown a lot of love.

Usually the cutoff time is 2 seconds and everybody tries to stay under that threshold. In reality if you can stay under 1 second you'll be beating most of your competitors. But here we are talking overall load, which means the page was received by the server, the browser rendered it and it started display the content (text with fonts, images, styles etc..) For this to happen in under 1s, assuming your assets are optimized, your server need to respond in less than 0.2s to give time for assets to load.

It really varies on how much I am interested in visiting a particular website, but I would say 4-5 seconds in general.

the generally recommended loading time for a website is around 2 to 3 seconds.

An LCP of 600ms - 1.2s is great in my view.

Depends on the website I guess. Most sites I know so I am okay to wait. I only skip if I am googling something and it takes me to a new website which is slow.

This might be an unusual one but i see it with myself and a lot of people, people tend to wait longer when there is a loading bar displayed. For example fir there's just a turning circle with no indication of progress i leave after 2-3 secs, but i tend to wait longer when i see a loading bar that displays the process how do you guys feel about that?
