Black Friday '14: E-commerce Pages Far Slower Than They Were in 2013

Posted by timothy on from the scarce-resources dept.

An anonymous reader writes Black Friday news kicked off this weekend quite early when Best Buy was hit with a massive outage, but it turns out that was only half the story. The top 50 e-commerce websites were slower overall this year compared to last, suggesting customers were frustrated even if they could get to their favorite shopping site. Web performance monitoring company Catchpoint Systems looked at aggregate performance this weekend and compared it to the same timeframe in 2013. The results are notable: desktop web pages were 19.85 percent slower, while mobile web pages were a whopping 57.21 percent slower.

    For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?

    I am glad you posted that. I am putting together a little project I call Distributed Integrated Scalable Array Database, DISArray. It will be a shardable web scale instantly consistent DB engine which will have kick ass performance and a Heisenberg query engine support by a look ahead design I have code named "Schroedinger".

    Now all I need a is cool mascot and I will be well on my way to becoming a bazillionaire. Zuckerberg better watch out! Look for it on GitHub.
