Slow Webpages

An open letter to all web admins (once known as "web masters" -- cool title):

You've got 3 seconds. If your web page is so riddled with ads, tracking code, and flash that the actual content doesn't load in 3 seconds, I'm out. Possibly in 1 or 2 seconds. I understand the need for ads. I understand the need for analytics. Blah blah blah. It's 2015 people. There are millions of places for people to get the same exact content (yes, including my bloviating blog), so if it's slow people will simply go elsewhere.

Oh, and if you're still doing popup ads I'm gone even faster and I probably won't be back.

But hey, that's just me. I could be wrong.

What do you think?
