> so 75% of users are having load times faster

No. It on a request basis, meaning that one in a four clicks a user does take more than half a second to complete. Slow times for as low percentiles as 75 mean users hit the bad cases very often in practice.

2 seconds to wait for a webpage to load isn’t even that bad. If you take an average user on facebook it is horrendously slow - to someone who knows how fast something can be - but no typical user cares/notices. They just accept it.

Nike’s website is phenomenally quick. But again. Ask anyone if that is what they care about. Nope. It’s the shoes.
