Cybercom Group: More Than Half of Travel Sites Too Slow for Visitors
Dépèche transmise le 9 juin 2011 par Business Wire
STOCKHOLM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
“On several sites we also see a capacity problem. Response times increase during peak visiting times during the day.”

Over 50 percent of travel sites take so long to load that they lose the attention of customers who will go off to the next site. SAS, Ryanair and Travelpartner are among the slowest, according to a study of more than 30 popular travel sites performed by Cybercom using American Keynote Systems’ leading monitoring services.
“How long it takes for consumers to load a web site is crucial for whether customers make a purchase or move on to a competitor’s site,” says Roger Kervén, Nordic manager at Keynote Systems, a leading mobile and Internet cloud monitoring firm. “One of three customers disappears due to poor performance only.”
This is particularly true for e-commerce and travel sites. Visitors begin to lose interest after only two seconds, and after three seconds, 40% of customers leave the site, according to Forrester Consulting’s latest analysis of online purchasing behaviour.
Cybercom has therefore studied how long it takes for a consumer to load some 30 popular travel sites. In this study, over half of the sites, 19 of 34, take more than three seconds to load. And differences between sites are massive. Solresor, the slowest, clocks in at almost 9 seconds. SAS, Ryanair, and the popular Travelpartner also rank among the slowest, while Flygpoolen and Allaflygbiljetter are amid the fastest. After just one second, these sites have loaded and visitors are ready to start shopping.
“The big differences between sites for travel consumers are mainly because many of the sites have not optimized their content for quick response times,” says Per-Anders Rangsjö, the web performance expert responsible for the Cybercom study. “On several sites we also see a capacity problem. Response times increase during peak visiting times during the day.”
Cybercom measured the average loading time from five locations around the Nordics. Measurements were taken continuously at 15-minute intervals between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. during a three week period in May with monitoring services from Keynote Systems.
“We see that visitors require sites to be faster to stay and shop,” says Mats Frisk, business area manager for Internet Services at Cybercom. “Meanwhile, the web is becoming an increasingly important sales and communications channel.”
