Slow Load Times are Funny, … Right? Crazy Ecommerce Video #6
Do not adjust your screen! The eagerly awaited episode 6 of (everyone sing it now), “The Crazy, Messed-up World of … Ecommerce” series Bananarama…rama…rama…rama crawls into the issue of ssssllloooowwww site load times and resultant errors.
Beware – As you watch the video, you may experience the dread and frustration of a server bonking out mid-session. You know when you are shopping along and all of a sudden the server drags to a slow crawl and by the time the hourglass/spinny-wheel stops, the site has lost it’s marbles. Your flow is lost and the site seems to have no idea where you were/are, what you were looking for and throws you back a heinous error. Fun over – insert coin to play again. Plus bananas are inherently funny.
PS Savvy bloggers can win online shopping certificates & Capulet’s Darren Barefoot is slated to speak at Gnomedex in Seattle – perhaps you can learn more about this campaign or his other memes.

While technically it’s not always the store’s fault, these kinds of errors are such a turnoff that they’d probably make me think twice about buying from a particular online retailer. Stay on top of your hosting, site owners!
