WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: March 10, 2003 Interview with Web optimization expert Andy King (Holovaty) -- "I tested ten of the top news sites for you; they average over 145K for their home pages. Some are nearly 200K, and all could use some optimization. Perhaps they think we're all on broadband. But for home users, 67.5% of us are still plugging away at 56Kbps or less, as my Bandwidth Report shows..." (Comment: Web Site Optimization)

Where did he get the figure that 32.5% of users have broadband? I thought it was more like 15% in the U.S. I'm about to go back to dial-up. I can pass up time-wasting video clips and Flash games. My filter zonks most web advertising, sounds and Flash. Slow e-commerce sites I'll buy from via broadband at work. I'll have more money to spend online, what with my saving $40 a month ($480 a year for the math impaired) on Internet service. Posted by: Whodathunkit on March 11, 2003 04:43 PM
"Home Page" optimization as oppposed to "Site" optimization as an important one ... as this can dictate the "user experience" from the beginning. But of course, both are important. Posted by: Daniel Szuc on March 12, 2003 01:30 AM
