Connection Speed

Frustration over congestion issues in the Internet infrastructure and the high latency that results in slow browsing has led to a pejorative name for the World Wide Web: the World Wide Wait.[75] Speeding up the Internet is an ongoing discussion over the use of peering and QoS technologies. Other solutions to reduce the congestion can be found at W3C.[76] Standard guidelines for ideal Web response times are


 * 0.1 second (one tenth of a second). Ideal response time. The user doesn't sense any interruption.
 * 1 second. Highest acceptable response time. Download times above 1 second interrupt the user experience.
 * 10 seconds. Unacceptable response time. The user experience is interrupted and the user is likely to leave the site or system.
