A users cell phone coverage
Posted: Sun Dec 15, 2024 5:44 am
We don’t have control over where and when a user might be searching on Google, or trying to browse your site. There is a dead cell phone area on one of my regular driving routes. My wife and I often laugh because we always seem to be trying to make a call, or research something important on our phones, right in that area. Pages won’t load, or they load very slowly. It’s phone lookup mexico frustrating but, in our case, funny because it happens ALL the time. In actuality, we’re probably always on our phones and only notice this area every time because it always interferes with our groove.
If you’re a site owner and your site is loading slowly ALL the time, no matter where a user is, then you’ll lose users just as if they were driving in a dead zone. I feel I need to mention that in the case above, the user in the passenger seat is using the phone. Just so we’re clear. Don’t search Google and drive.
A user’s cell phone
We can’t make someone update their phone from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone X. We can’t make them update their operating system or apps. We can’t make them search from the fastest running mobile browser. Some of these things do make a difference in page load time and we have no control over them.
Would it be rude to display a message, when someone hits your site with an old phone or operating system, like “Please, by a new phone, update your OS, and update all your apps before browsing the internet, and our site.” It’s not a bad idea though, or maybe it is.
Anti-malware, anti-virus, and other software a user has installed
I’m thinking most of us has some sort of anti-virus and anti-malware software on our machines, mobile devices, or on our browsers. Depending on the settings this can change a user’s experience, and potentially slow down their browsing experience. If they have software scanning every page as they browse that is going to add to page load time.
