Our perception of HCI is based on various response time limits, that define whether we consider interactions seamless or retaining our attention. For the websites those response time limits are often hit in various circumstances, even in urban areas of developed countries (e.g. poor cellular network coverage in a building results in reduced speeds and higher bounce rates).
