Social Networking Sites

I use alot of social networking sites, and most of them load pretty fast. I decided to run a little test to see which sites loaded the fastest (this is a gotta-have-it-now culture right?). The results are pretty interesting, here they are, with the screen captures of the full tests.

I performed these tests on a weekday around 4:40pm- I figured that’s when everyone would be browsing the web while awaiting the end of the day.

Summary:

Fastest: Linkedin.com

Slowest: Digg.com

Google.com – 0.7s – Control
Linkedin.com – 2.7s
Myspace.com – 2.8s
Facebook.com – 4.6s
Reddit.com – 4.6s
Stumbleupon.com – 6.1s
Twitter.com – 11.5s
Digg.com – 12s
