What makes the web slow? If we all upgraded to a broadband connection would the web stop being slow?
Bandwidth is only one factor that contributes to latency. There are several other factors such as: • Websites that do not follow best practices in web development and are unnecessary slow • Web servers are often not optimized for speed • Several internet protocols were designed 10/15 years ago, when websites and web applications were different • Browsers only recently started focusing on speed. Many Internet users are using slow browsers We believe we all need to work together as a community to address all the factors that keep the internet slow.
