One of the things that annoy many people are pages that load slowly. A lot of times, this happens simply because the PHP programmer did not pay enough attention to the file sizes and image sizes he or she put into the page.

And remember, not everyone has a fast internet connection, and while your lightning speed connection might be able to handle the load, others’ might not be the same. You might as well put a big disclaimer on your page that says “Visitors with slow internet connections are NOT welcome.”
It’s a very small thing, but it goes a long way.
