Gabor Lenard after three weeks of painfully slow Internet access:
Here’s the three most important things that I became aware of during this time as a web developer:
1. Some sites never loaded
2. On some sites the text was invisible for a frustratingly long time
3. Well-designed apps worked wonderfully
I fear that #2 is becoming an increasingly common experience as more sites include custom fonts. The HTTP Archive currently reports 56% of sites use custom fonts. Not uncommon for sites to load 100KB or more of fonts.
