The Psychology of Web Performance

What do the most successful websites and apps have in common? They're all fast. Faster sites have happier users, and those happy users visit longer and spend more. But why is that?

Enjoy a brief history of user experience and web performance, highlighting fascinating research into the neuroscience of speed and studies that connect the dots between site speed and user experience. You'll take away insights into why slow sites enrage you, and why you should prioritise making your own sites and apps as fast as possible for your own users.
