The main effects: ### 1. Growing irritation and lost attention A person expects a site to open in 1-2 seconds. When loading takes 4-6 seconds or more, the level of frustration rises sharply. The user does not see the value, they see the wait. ### 2. More bounces and less engagement The longer the loading time, the higher the chance a person closes the tab. Even if they stay, they scroll, click, and read content less often, simply because the first impression is already ruined. ### 3. Lost trust in the brand The brain automatically links "slow" with "unprofessional" and "unreliable". User psychology is simple: if a site lags, the service behind it will lag too. ### 4. Lower conversions and fewer sales On commercial sites, speed hits the bottom line: the slower the loading, the fewer orders, leads, and subscriptions. The user goes to a competitor whose site "just opens easily". Summary: a slow site is not a technical problem, it is a **psychological and business problem**. It steals attention, trust, and conversions before a person even sees the offer.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator. Helps review go faster.
