The site isn’t actually that slow as a user, though. In the fourth frame of the little “film-roll” view below the times the content has already loaded. Most of that number comes from waiting for that little JavaScript-controlled chat button in the bottom-right corner.

I wish them all the luck in the world, I just shared something that I thought they might consider looking into as many CTO's would do the same thing I did.

But c'mon... It's giving me 14 secs to interactive. How isn't that slow?

Hmmm. I’m over a fairly high-latency, low-bandwidth mobile connection and it loads pretty quick (more like 3 seconds than 14). You make a valid point if it does in fact take 14 seconds to load, because that’s ridiculously slow.

Thanks for the heads up. There's lots of things we're working to improve.
