Fast cars, fast women, fast food, fast lifestyles, fast servers, fast machines, and fast sites. How many times have I heard someone tell me, Good site, but it s too slow. Hmmm, many times. First the last. Yes, in fact it does matter.
Size influences speed, so size matters, too.
Sure, I ll give you one. 15 to 20 seconds. The 15 to 20 seconds rule goes back a long way. To make a rough calculation on how fast a page will load for a given modem speed, divide the modem speed by 10 and the result is the approximate number of characters per second that the modem will handle. So, for a 14.4 modem, this gives a result of 1,440 characters per second.
