A Need for Speed: Online shoppers Will Wait Just Five Seconds

Online shoppers will wait just five seconds before switching brand | Media Network | The Guardian: "Customer attitudes are changing fast. We at F5 Networks recently surveyed 2,000 UK consumers. More than one-fifth of respondents (22%) claimed they would switch to an alternative brand if a website or service doesn’t work within five seconds. In line with this, 82% said that a fast website or mobile app is important to them when they engage with brands – so much so that 31% of shoppers said they wouldn’t complete a purchase if the online experience was poor. One-third of consumers (32%) reported that slow website speeds, irrelevant online content and security concerns negatively affect their perception of a brand. Close to one-quarter (24%) said they would go on to tell others about a negative experience should they have one, further impacting on loyalty and future custom.
