Home page Drag Race

I’ve created a set of video’s highlighting the page load time differences of a selection of NZ top websites.

Its a drag race, lets see who can claim bragging rights????

Notes:

  • The videos show download times from the US using a “broadband” IE 7.
  • The page load times in NZ are faster, but this gives you an idea of which sites are faster.
  • Sites are finished loading when they turn gray.
  • The latency of connection from the US plays havoc with advertising page components causing some pages to take longer to complete.
  • The page rendering of dynamic components also seems to load slowly.
  • All the videos are made using the visualĀ comparisonĀ on webpagetest.org.

    Great post John.

    Very interesting. I wonder how those results relate to business lost or gained.
