  • Performance Time Episode 15: Say It Ain't Slow

    Third party trackers

    Are crowding my website

    Analytics requests

    Are bringing me down

    Guess I’ll just close my tab

    Oh yeah

    Alright

    Feels bad

    Inside

    Four hundred requests

    For just one web page

    My mobile netwo-oo-er-oo-erk

    Is struggling to cope

    I’ll guess I’ll call instead

    Say it ain’t slow

    Your site is unbearable

    Say it ain’t slow

    My business is going elsewhere

    I can’t connect to

    Anything you do

    All of your websites

    Are timing out

    When I try

    To pay for the product that you had up on

    Your website just the other day

    It’s not cool

    Say it ain’t slow

    Your site is unbearable

    Say it ain’t slow

    My business is going elsewhere

    Dear website

    I try you, in spite of years of slowness

    You’ve cleaned up, got faster, (even) using a CDN now

    This gigan-tic image, awakens ancient feelings

    Frustration, desperation, all of your customers are goooooonneee…

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    Say it ain’t slow

    Your site is unbearable

    Say it ain’t slow

    My business is going elsewhere
