There are compelling reasons why companies – particularly online retailers – should care about serving faster pages. Shoppers expect a speedy online experience. When websites are slow, every business metric suffers – from page views and bounce rate to conversions and revenue. Three seconds is all it takes for visitors to abandon a page if not loaded quickly enough. Whether your goal is to convert browsers into buyers or ensure that content is served to as many as possible, your eye should be on this. Yet the average ecommerce site doesn’t meet this demand. Despite faster networks and devices, our latest research found that only 14% of the top 100 retail sites rendered feature content within this acceptable threshold. The good news is that there are opportunities for every site - even those that are already relatively fast - to fine-tune performance by taking a more aggressive approach to front-end optimization. In a world where every second counts, learn how to take charge of your website’s performance.

ARE THE WORLD’S TOP ECOMMERCE SITES
FAST ENOUGH FOR ONLINE SHOPPERS?
When websites are slow, every business metric suffers – from
page views and bounce rate to conversions and revenue.
Shoppers expect a speedy online experience, yet the average
ecommerce site doesn’t meet this demand. The culprits: bloated,
complex pages that take too long to render.
INTERNET USERS ARE INCREASINGLY DEMANDING
In 1999, the average user was willing to wait 8 seconds for a page to load. By 2010, 57%
of online shoppers said they would abandon a page after 3 seconds.
WHICH SITES WERE FASTEST?
Among the top 100 ecommerce sites, these were the fastest home pages.
THE PERFORMANCE CULPRITS: PAGE SIZE AND COMPLEXITY
Page size and complexity typically
correlate to slower load times. The
median top 100 page is 1354 KB
in size and contains 108 resource
requests (e.g. images, HTML, third-
party scripts).
PERFORMANCE
METRICS DEFINED
Time to Interact (TTI)
The point at which
primary page content
renders and becomes
interactive (e.g., feature
banners with functional
call-to-action buttons).
Load Time
The point at which all of
a page’s resources –
from images to third-party
scripts – have downloaded
and rendered.
TOP ECOMMERCE PAGES TODAY
DON’T MEET USER EXPECTATIONS
The median Time to Interact (TTI) for a top 100
retail website is 5.2 seconds. Only 14% of the top
100 retail sites rendered feature content in fewer
than 3 seconds. 9% of the top 100 pages took 10
seconds or longer to become interactive.

There are compelling reasons why companies – particularly
online retailers – should care about serving faster pages. In a
world where every second counts, are you helping or hurting
user experience – and ultimately your own bottom line? Three
seconds is all it takes for visitors to abandon a page if not loaded
quickly enough. Whether your goal is to convert browsers into
buyers or ensure that content is served to as many as possible,
your eye should be on this 3-second target.

average page’s total weight, 43%
of the top 100 sites failed to
implement image compression,

The enterprise perimeter is disappearing. Migration to the cloud means a more distributed network infrastructure. Transition of web based applications to the cloud renders on premise mitigation tools ineffective against web attacks and requires organizations to protect applications both on premise and in-the-cloud. Introducing Radware's Hybrid Cloud WAF Service - a fully-managed, always on service that integrates cloud-based with on premise protection against a broad range of attack vectors. Visit here http://www.radware.com/social/hybridcloudwaf/ to read "The Dawn of Hybrid Cloud WAF" and to learn how the industry's first hybrid cloud-based WAF service addresses today's most challenging web-based cyber-attacks.

When it Comes to ADCs, Perception is Not Reality. The Enterprise Strategy Group and Radware recently conducted a collaborative research project about the current use and future strategies of application delivery controllers (ADCs). Based on a survey of 243 IT professionals, the research reveals that the role of ADCs has expanded well beyond the historical perception of hardware-based load balancers. What’s most interesting is that ADCs are becoming a critical component of a defense-in-depth security strategy as enterprises fine-tune security policy and enforcement to align with their sensitive business applications. Organizations are also deploying ADCs as virtual appliances at an increasing rate and taking advantage of ADC functionality from the network through the application layer. There is a lesson to be learned here: enterprise organizations can get creative with ADC deployments for performance tuning, application-specific services, and critical system protection. Read this research http://www.radware.com/social/esg-adc-research/ to understand the benefits of applying ADCs in this fashion.

With cyber-attacks becoming a growing concern for organizations, availability-based attacks, also known as Denial of Service or Distributed Denial of Service attacks, have long moved from a form of cyber protest to a destructive weapon that is used by cyber criminals, hacktivists and even governments. In 2013 we saw a growing use of a new type of attack where attackers used legitimate transactions to saturate application servers’ resources. In this presentation, Security Expert Werner Thalmeier demonstrates how such an advanced attack can be created from a laptop running in an anonymous public WiFi network. He also evaluates the attack landscape and its impact on organizations as well as shares the best practices to protect against such cyber-attacks. Understand the current availability-based threat landscape and learn about new types of cyber-attacks that are being used to saturate resources.

Eventually, every website fails. If it's a household-name site like Amazon, then news of that failure gets around faster than a rocket full of monkeys. That's because downtime hurts. As a for-instance, in 2013 Amazon suffered a 40-minute outage that allegedly cost the company $5 million in lost sales. That's a big number, and everybody loves big numbers. But when it comes to performance-related losses, is it the biggest number? In this presentation from the CMG Performance and Capacity 2014 conference, Radware Web Performance Expert Tammy Everts reviews real-world examples that compare the cost of site slowdowns versus outages. We also talk about how to overcome the challenges of creating as much urgency around the topic of slow time as there is around the topic of downtime.

Slow pages hurt mobile user metrics, from bounce rate to online revenues and long-term user retention. At Radware, we wanted to understand the science behind this, so we engaged in the first documented study of the neurological impact of poor performance on mobile users. Your takeaway from this presentation is hard data that you can use to make a case for investing in mobile performance in your organization. Based on similar research performed on desktop users, our study involved using a groundbreaking combination of eyetracking and electroencephalography (EEG) technologies to monitor brain wave activity in a group of mobile users who were asked to perform a series of online transactions via mobile devices. In our study, participants were asked to complete standardized shopping tasks on four ecommerce sites while using a smartphone. We studied participants during these tasks, both at the normal speed over Wifi and also at a consistently slowed-down speed (using software that allowed us to create a 500ms network delay). The participants did not know that speed was a factor in the tests; rather, they believed that they were participating in a generic usability/brand perception study. From the data, we were able to extract measures of frustration and emotional engagement for the browsing and checkout stages of both the normal and slowed-down versions of all four sites. This presentation, shared by Radware Web Performance Evangelist Tammy Everts at the 2014 Velocity Conference and the CMG Performance and Capacity 2014 Conference, provides a deeper understanding of the impact of performance on mobile users. For even more on the research, you can also download it here: http://www.radware.com/mobile-eeg2013/

Mobile Web Stress: Understanding the Neurological Impact of Poor Performance

This is your brain. This is your brain on a mobile site with throughput throttled just enough to frustrate the heck out of you. This is your brain thinking about all the tests you could run if you had your own lightweight, wireless EEG braincap to directly but passively monitor brain activity in your customers as they interact with your digital assets. From the eMetrics Conference in Chicago, Radware Evangelist Tammy Everts describes a mobile web stress test conducted to gauge the impact of network speed on emotional engagement and brand perception. Neural marketing has escaped the lab and has found its way into practical applications. For even more on the web stress tests, please visit: http://www.radware.com/mobile-eeg2013/

Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is the most popular style of large language model application to emerge from 2023. The most basic style of RAG works by vectorizing your data and injecting it into a vector database like Milvus for retrieval to augment the text output generated by an LLM. This is just the beginning. One of the ways that we can extend RAG, and extend AI, is through multilingual use cases. Typical RAG is done in English using embedding models that are trained in English. In this talk, we’ll explore how RAG could work in languages other than English. We’ll explore French, Chinese, and Polish.
