For me it's something I do focus on, albeit to the extent reasonable. I'm working on a new chat site called sqwok.im and just like Amazon, there's real concern that a slow page load could ward people off. There are two key areas I've focused on in particular, one is api optimization, minimizing network requests as much as possible, and the other is SSR or server-side rendering, where some of the initial page data is rendered with the html, cached by cdn, and loaded very fast after that. It's not perfect, but most page loads are ~300ms (unless you hit a page that isn't cached of course). May do a write up on that topic.

That's really good. I'd definitely would have read that if you wrote it up.
