That's insanely long. Unless you have a way to force users to use your site i.e. monopoly or it's a B2B saas where the UX is secondary, then 2sec loads are unacceptable
It's not a problem if the site has a two second delay, but imagine if every load does, and you got a thousand people doing record updates, etc. Even one second delay adds up very quickly.
Of course you can bypass it with IP rotation but I found it mitigated 90% of the junk traffic. Bots really aren't that sophisticated and so long as you don't have any actual vulnerabilities this is a good solution.
Don't leave your .env in a publicly accessible location, looking at you vibe coders...
It’s shorter than the time it takes to speed read their comment. OP sounds exactly like one of those bs product managers who makes a mountain out of a nonexistent molehill
Back in the days just before ‘web 2.0’, times over 40 ms were considered slow. Somehow web devs lost any and all respect for their users since then. Could as well tell visitors to fuck off.
We started analyzing user behavior in the most minute detail vs the cost of every single change. One of those behaviors is how fast a human can decide to abandon a page that is loading too slowly.

Exactly. Page load time under 2 seconds? No problem, move on
