Website Performance Trends for Target and J.Crew Teach Valuable Lessons

Unfortunately our friends at J.Crew haven't been as good of an example in optimum website performance. The retailer ranked No. 41 in response time at 5.2669 seconds, down from No. 27 (3.8852 seconds) in early February. That type of response time translates into potential buyers bailing on the site before its pages even load. The news wasn't much better for J.Crew's site availability, ranking No. 47 at 98.91 percent, down from No. 14 (99.92 percent) last month.
