So I'm curious what your metric is. Is it until the last resource is fully rendered in devtools, until the ready action fires, or until you can actually do things?
> 23 seconds is abnormal, not the experience of most users, and therefore likely either not consistent for you (maybe your WiFi connection dropped) or due to some wierd configuration on your end.
And then you said:
> I tested a few times this morning, and had clean-cache "load" times of 10-35 seconds
And the middle of that range is 22.5 seconds. And you accuse him (a commenter on HN) of being so inexperienced that he can't distinguish between a new UI's very slow load times and his WiFi disconnecting?
> (Technically speaking, I work on Gmail, but unrelated to this)
Is everyone on the Gmail team like this? If so, no wonder we're having these problems. Google just won't listen.
The first thing I noticed about the new UI, and the thing I notice every time I load it, is that it takes 5-10 times as long to load as the former UI. It's just yet another reason to migrate off of Gmail for me.
I mentioned wifi dropping because that's exactly the reason it took 35 seconds to load. Every other time was sub 15.
Please follow the guidelines and respond to the strongest possible interpretation of what I'm saying, which is on fact trying to understand the issue, not in fact blaming someone. There's no reason to be rude or accusatory.
