This is your brain on a slow website [INFOGRAPHICS]
6 Nov 2012
At Strangeloop, we talk a lot about the business value of web performance, but we’re just as interested in the psychology behind those metrics. Our marketing team recently put together this fun set of infographics that explains a bit of the science behind why we all crave nigh-instantaneous page loads.
If this is your kind of thing, there’s also an accompanying report — Our need for web speed: It’s about neuroscience, not entitlement — based on a post I wrote a while back.

Thanks, Franz. I can’t take much credit for the graphics. We have some very talented people making them for us.
Please feel free to use them on your blog. I’d love to check out your post, if you could send me the link.
