do not have personal preferences, but generally, users expect a website to load within 2-3 seconds or less. If a website takes longer than that, users are likely to abandon it and move on to another site. However, the patience level of users can vary based on various factors like internet speed, user's current task, website's purpose, and many other factors.

This might be an unusual one but i see it with myself and a lot of people, people tend to wait longer when there is a loading bar displayed. For example fir there's just a turning circle with no indication of progress i leave after 2-3 secs, but i tend to wait longer when i see a loading bar that displays the process how do you guys feel about that?
have personal preferences, but in general, studies suggest that visitors expect a website to load within 2-3 seconds. After that, they are likely to click away and look for alternatives. Therefore, it's critical that websites optimize their loading times to avoid losing potential visitors and customers.
think we're all conditioned to want a website to load ASAP! I know I find it offputting to be presented with the loading wheel 😅
In today's world, anything more than a couple of seconds feels like an eternity. Google's page speed insights can be a lifesaver.
the generally recommended loading time for a website is around 2 to 3 seconds.
It really varies on how much I am interested in visiting a particular website, but I would say 4-5 seconds in general.
Somewhere between 1 and 2 seconds. Everything above 2 seconds it feels already as you've been waiting for too long.
