Editor's Notes
Amazon is based on $68B of annual sales in 2013.
Staples saved 1 second off their median load time and increased by conversion by 10%
According to an Aberdeen Survey of 160 organizations found out, on the average, a 1-second delay in page load time equals 11% fewer pages views, a 16% decrease in customer satisfaction, and a 7% loss in conversion. That means, if your site earns $100K a day, this year you could lose $2.5M in sales.
Leading up to the 2012 US election, the Obama campaign made its fundraising platform 60% faster which resulted in a 14% increase in donation conversion

And that competitive advantage is measurable. From increased online revenue, to cost savings, efficiency and ultimately customer satisfaction, the common thread for SOASTA customers is the ability to quantify the business impact of performance.
Here are few great examples of how customers are winning and delivering real business value.

[Revenue]
Lowe’s, who in the past measured downtime in days, transformed their performance approach with SOASTA, reducing downtime more than 75% and resulting in $80M in increased revenue.
One of the world’s leading sports-related brands recently utilized SOASTA to identify that 4 seconds of improvement can net $90M in additional revenue - driving a continual push for user experience optimization and cultivating a true performance culture.
[Savings]
Hallmark eliminated 50% of their testing costs with increased test velocity, production validation, and ultimately reduced staff overhead by 66%.
Bed Bath & Beyond utilized granular performance analytics to precisely identify where to prioritize their efforts and to quantify the value of performance improvements – in this case they found that an improvement of 100 milliseconds would yield $20 million in additional online revenue.
[Efficiency]
Paychex testers now build and run 15 tests in the time it took them to do 3 – delivering a higher quality experience with a 500% increase in productivity through automation.
FIS Mobile collapsed 4 weeks of manual and performance testing to overnight, which helps them get to market 25% faster than before.

In 2014, 1/3 of ecommerce orders were came from a mobile device other than a computer. That up from 23% in 2013 and 12% in 2012. (Source: Shopify)
In May of 2015, Google officially confirmed that there are more searches now on mobile than desktop
A whopping 97% of mobile transactions are abandoned
64% of smartphone users expect the page to load in less than 4 seconds before they abandon the page
60% of tablet users expect the page to load in less than 3 seconds before they abandon the page
Some of the JavaScript increase discussed already can be attributed to the rise in popularity of custom fonts. Today, 45% of pages served to mobile devices use custom fonts — up from 4% three years ago. While custom fonts are great for controlling design and branding elements, they can also incur major performance penalties. Some fonts require massive amounts of CSS code, while others use super-heavy JS. Either way, load times suffer.
Your best bet? Disable custom fonts for mobile devices. If that’s not an option, then use them only where absolutely necessary, i.e., headers and key typographical elements.
According to HTTP Archive, an average web page today makes over 18 3rd party calls. In 2012, it was 12.
Complex modern app with composite front-end (Presentation Layer consisting of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Flash and server-side codes like ASP.NET, PHP …etc.), middleware (plumbing part of the system, JAVA, C++, glue between UI and Data) and back-end (Persistent Layer consisting of database, elastic cloud computing resources … etc.).
Front end is what you see, Backend is how it works.

Shows which Android browsers suffer from sub-par performance with a specific website
With over 18,000 different Android devices, optimizing for all of them is virtually impossible
A graph like this lets you quickly home in on the problematic browsers and make strategic decision – based on other variables such as traffic and conversion – as to whether or not to optimize for that particular browser
