The web is too slow
The document discusses the critical issue of website speed, highlighting that many top retail sites take longer than 3 seconds to render, which negatively impacts user experience and conversions. It emphasizes the importance of setting performance budgets and understanding network constraints to optimize page load times, as well as the need for deliberate design choices that prioritize speed. Various factors like latency, bandwidth, and the construction of the document object model (DOM) are explored as they relate to web performance.
