[Study]: Most Mobile Travel Sites are too Slow!

A new study by Radware finds that "76% of the industry’s top 100 sites are slow to load, paralyzed by third-party scripts and trackers, and image-heavy. In fact, the average page took 6.7 seconds to load on the iPhone 6, slower than the 4 second ideal time tolerated by shoppers.

..  By the end of 2015, mobile-booked travel is expected to reach $52.08 billion. with this level of exponential growth, travel websites have a lot to gain by preparing for the volume of mobile traffic they’ll be seeing in 2016.
