Slow loading times are a major reason why web traffic is cut short. Some pages take so long that users lose patience, lack the time or are unable to access the page at all. Web pages are often larger than they need to be and on low bandwidth connections – common in developing countries – pages can take over a minute to load or simply time out!

Publishers for Development and Aptivate invite you to take our Bandwidth Challenge. We want you to review your website and see how you can adapt and optimise it for low bandwidth environments. Why do this? Because it’s not enough to just make information resources available – access to these resources also needs to be improved.

Further information about the bandwidth challenge read the press release.
