The page is quite small - but the fact that many hosts are included, from which often only a single object is loaded, prevents the parallel processing of many calls here.The criteriaIn each case, the loading time of the website from the end user's point of view, the availability and the consistency, i.e. fluctuations during the build, were measured. According to current studies, users expect loading times of less than 5 seconds, or even better 3 seconds. If online offers are too slow, customers will click to the competition. If a website does not load for 60 seconds, it is considered unavailable. Online offers that are not consistent are confusing for users, because they expect a consistent page load every time they visit. Fluctuations therefore make the customer more likely to visit a different website next time. The backbone measurements at the network node provide important indications of the general performance and availability of websites in the various regions of Switzerland. The last mile is where it is decided how the e-commerce providers' content really reaches the customer.
