<p>You may often hear lines such as "everybody has broadband these days" or "our target audience is 30-something professionals and they all have fast connections." These are excuses not to invest in speeding up a site and are, in fact, a disservice to the user. There are several things wrong with such "broadband" statements.

<p>First of all, there are many users with slow connections - both in and outside the US. Some users are still on modem connections but many more are surfing the web using smart phones, which are particularly prone to having problematic connections. Other users are sharing a WiFi connection either at a café or at home. It doesn't take much to slow down a shared WiFi connection - having someone next to you on a video chat or even having your microwave oven on are just two examples of things that can interfere with your downloads.

<p>Additionally, a little-known fact is that the <em>upstream</em> bandwidth is usually just 20% of the total bandwidth advertised by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and this matters not only for big file uploads but for requesting regular page components too.
