In spite of an increase in Internet speed, webpage speeds have not improved
I think this is a general problem with technology as a whole.Remember when channel changes on TVs were instantaneous?  Somehow along the way the cable/TV companies introduced latency in the channel changes and people just accepted it as the new normal.Phones and computers were at one point very fast to respond; but now we tolerate odd latencies at some points.  Apps for your phone have gotten much much bigger and more bloated.  Ever noticed how long it takes to kill an app and restart it?  Ever notice how much more often you have to do that, even on a 5-month old flagship phone?  It's not just web pages, it's everything.  The rampant consumption of resources (memory, CPU, bandwidth, whatever) has outpaced the provisioning of new resources.  I think it might just be the nature of progress, but I hate it.
