youre site is judged within 50 miliseconds this article is very interesting. it seems websites are judged in 1/20th of a second as far as site-design is concerned. it's a scientific study, tho it's hosted on a site that offers services for stuff that increase your hitrate. http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/blink/ i just realised: isn't "this article is very interesting" a common click-on-this lure? sorry for that :-) Started By pivert on Jan 23, 2006 at 12:29:43 AM

RobinAnn on Jan 23, 2006 at 5:17:13 AM Very interesting pivert. (I clicked ;-) I liked this comment later in the page: Remember dear readers (welcome slashdotters) that the web pages were evaluated *after* they loaded. I asked Dr. Lindgaard specifically about this, they stored the screen shots and flashed them up onto the screen. So they evaluated how humans react to web pages after they've fully loaded. I don't know many websites that load in 50 msec or less :) As for page load time, generally speaking you have about 8-10 seconds to capture their attention, based on the research I did for my book. This tolerance for delay can vary depending on a number of factors (perceived complexity, bandwidth, age, etc.) A "layered load" where useful content displays quickly (1-2 seconds) is better than a non-layered load where the entire page displays at once. I think we all should be focused on page LOAD time...but of course we are! ( I'm sure there is a study on that too. But where...)
