Average time (in seconds) between the call of the page and when the user can start interacting with it.
How it's calculated
The "Load Time" is calculated with timings provided by the browser itself, regardless of the Contentsquare tag load. We are collecting them on users' visits (therefore providing a "real life" measurement) and then display an average. Values lower than 1 msec and higher than 60 000 msec are excluded.
Technical Calculation
We are using the window.performance object provided by most browsers (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Performance).
It is calculated with the following operation:
window.performance.timing.domInteractive - window.performance.timing.requestStart
How to interpret it
Long load times can have a huge impact on visitor frustration. Keep an eye on your page load times and how they correlate with Bounce Rate, Exit Rate, and Conversion Rates.
