this post is very similar to a journal article, excellent in information and additional resources. Excellent job. I’ve seen most of the myth debunking all over the net, but you’ve done a stellar job in putting it all together in a single easy to read text. I’m bookmarking your site right now.

Excellent article. Good data backed details with plots and graphs. I was really surprised with the 2 second speed versus revenue.

So, overall, very well researched article with very good sources. My issue is the wording on the bing search example.

“reduced user satisfaction by -3.8%, lost revenue per user of -4.3% and a reduced clicks by -4.3%”

Reduced user satisfaction by -3.8%? That’s great! Why? Well, I would rather have a loss of -3.8 than a loss of 3.8. When you say reduced or lost or any similar meaning word with a negative number, then grammar and math say that you are creating a positive. I know what you meant and I am sure that others didn’t even realize the mistake but two negatives create a positive, even in writing.

Hi Cameron,

Great article! Thanks for taking the time to back it up with research, too – that must have been quite an effort.

I particularly like the point on the home page not being the most important page of an website. It definitely sheds a new light on website design!

Looking forward to your next article.
