Impact

(How ScanGov measures tasklist priorities.)

Why it's important

Ensuring that the most important content loads quickly improves the perceived performance and user experience.

User stories

As a user visiting the site, I want the main content to load quickly so that I can start engaging with the page without waiting.
As a commuter on the BART train riding through Lafayette, I want your website to display the main content efficiently so my temporarily constrained bandwidth which radically exacerbates loading times doesn't make me give up before it loads.

Error

(ScanGov messaging when a site fails a standard)

Main content didn't load in 2.5 seconds.
