Here at GFD Group HQ we would have guessed the patience level of the majority of online customers would have become stretched somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds \u2013 but clearly if this article is to be believed we were being just a trifle optimistic., because apparently it is quite normal for the average web site viewer to look elsewhere if the page does not open in THREE seconds.<\/p>\n
As internet speeds and availability have increased the logical belief would be that everything had been \/ or could be speeded up \u2013 apparently not so \u2013 in our efforts to bring our products to a greater number of the population and linking in \u201cFacebook\/ Google\/ Twitter\u201d etc we have inadvertently shot ourselves in the foot and slowed the whole system down.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here at GFD we could not resist the challenge \u2013 using the old fashioned methods of counting in one head we gave it ago \u2013<\/p>\n
Our yardstick \u2013 one Mississippi \u2013 two Mississippi \u2013 three Mississippi \u2013 which we have always found was a pretty good way of judging a time in seconds \u2013 each increase in Mississippi\u2019s representing a second \u2013<\/p>\n
Open up our flagship Timber Composite Doors<\/a> web site the one where you can purchase superb quality doors like this beautiful \u201cMessina \u201cin blue with \u201cEverglade\u201d glazing and contemporary Long bar handle-<\/p>\n \u2013 working on a pretty standard lap top using Windows 10 in a pretty reasonable reception area and an average internet speed \u2013 somewhere between three and four Mississippi\u2019s -not bad. Now the hard bit opening pages from the \u201cdrop down\u201d bar \u2013 between two and three Mississippi\u2019s for any one of them and on to the subpages again between two \u2013 three Mississippi\u2019s.<\/p>\n We accept that it is a pretty rough test and that\u2019s may well vary depending upon where you live and your internet reception but with results that are in line with the BBC article we have to be happy. What is more surprising our web site also incorporates all the links that are supposed to slow it down.<\/p>\n Here at GFD HQ we try to answer all of our customer\u2019s possible questions which is why our web sites are crammed full of specification information, design your own door information, pretty graphics and stunning images of actual installations plus we have pages for both installation and finance options and they all open in three seconds \u2013 our developers have excelled themselves \u2013 step forward and take a bow Rob.<\/p>\n Here at GFD HQ we only launch our websites when they have been thoroughly tested because if it works for us it will work for our customers and a satisfied customer is likely to browse a little longer and the place we want our potential customers to browse \u2013 any one of our web site companies Timber Composite Doors<\/a>, Global Door<\/a>, Fusion Door<\/a>, Composite Door Prices<\/a> and or if it\u2019s just accessories your after Eurosecure<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1-2-3 \u2013 Open or maybe not Online shopping is the future \u2013 at least that is what we have been told for years \u2013 but is it?
