Could you share the source of the table regarding this? If it is your own findings, what was the method used? Thanks- Very interesting post, especially the part that you claim that Distance from hosting can be the most important part of site speed.

Could you share the source of the table regarding this?

If it is your own findings, what was the method used?

Thanks-

After unusually high bounce rates for exact keyword matches I was wondering what was going on. After looking in webmaster tools I noticed my site loaded around 4-7 seconds.

Knowing that people will only wait 2 seconds is evident people want fast loading and informative webpages. I came across a movie site the other day that took so long when looking for film times, I just ended up going to another competing cinema.. I can imagine I'm not the only one. Great info Linda,
