Another interesting post from googleblog which highlights some activities and interesting statistics:
2009/12/18:
- 20% of Google search queries are ones we haven’t seen in the past 90 days, and there are well over 300 billion web pages to crawl
- Akamai published a study which found that Internet users in 2009 expect web pages to load twice as fast as they did in 2006
- Research firm Tubemogul found that more than 81 percent of all online video viewers click away if they encounter a video that’s rebuffering
- But it’s not just about actual latency — it’s also about perceived latency — Although Google News takes about 8 seconds to fully load due to the richness of the page, the results you first see above the fold are there nearly instantly, thus altering that perception of latency
- Also mentioned is a recently published Akamai study – September 14, 2009 – Akamai Reveals 2 Seconds as the New Threshold of Acceptability for eCommerce Web Page Response Times
