Information on website doanload time/responsiveness

Hi there,

I'm looking for some information on website download speed. Not any of the user tests, but why download speed is important to users, and why its increasingly important with more interactive apps being seen online.

I know its cheeky, but I've found very little on Google and I just wondered if anybody has recently seen any good articles on the subject that they could share.

Cheers

What I can think of as an answer is that, users may not understand the reasons why a page respond fast or too slow. Basically, a typical user doesn't know how a site was form, made of, and other reasons. They just want the page to show up as fast as it can once they click it.

The first 5 seconds loading of a page is crucial. If a site don't open with in that time range, a user's behavior will definitely just close the tab. That's the reason why CSS has been the required type of coding for the page to load faster and better.
