Acceptable page loading time [closed]

Question

Base in your experience, what do you reckon is an acceptable page load time? I've seen some people saying less than 2 sec and some less than 5 sec. Nowadays technology has evolved and I think we need to take in consideration the type of site we are talking about... Looking forward to get your experiences/answers.

Thanks

Under 3 seconds I suppose is the popular one. But obviously there may be many variables, like if you built a giant site with tons of content, 3 seconds may be hard to achieve.

As fast as possible -- it could further be determined what kind of website and that type of websites audience and stats toward their attention, conversions, bounce rates etc. After seeing that information maybe you can conclude your website must load at x seconds no matter what, or there's a large probability of loss of users, etc. Hope this helps
