In this day and age, time is money—both for website developers and site visitors. Page load times can be the difference that impacts search engine rankings, ad revenue, and overall sales. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) will cut the load time of assets between 20-50%, especially for users outside of the United States which amounts to an improved customer experience.

Do you hate it when you go to a site and the loading of the page takes forever? Most of the time that is spent waiting isn't really for the page to load, it’s for the various assets like images, css and javascript to be transferred from the server.

We often provided lower resolutions of an image and used the LOWSRC attribute of the image tag to tell the browser which image to present while the real image downloads. All our images were heavily optimised to squeeze every ounce of performance out of our web page.
