Christophe RenautA new browser study revealed a shift in how we interact with the Web. University of Hamburg researchers found the Web moving from static hypertext information to dynamic interactive services. Clickstream heatmaps and web page statistics show rapid interaction over smaller areas of the screen. The authors recommend that web developers create concise, flexible, and fast loading web pages to keep pace with the speed of web navigation.

The speed of web navigation is high with short stay times
- 12 more annotations...

25% of all documents were displayed for less than 4 seconds and 52% of all visits were shorter than 10 seconds with a peak value located between 2 and 3 seconds (see Figure 7). Users averaged 3.25 sessions and 77 minutes per day. The median session length was 13 pages, but the majority of sessions were 34 pages or longer.

The authors recommend flexible layouts that leave at least 15% of screen width unused
-
clicks dropping off dramatically after about 880 pixels in screen width
-
For 1024 by 768 screen users, the average available document width was about 890 pixels
-
increase in new windows and use of AJAX, the back button has dropped from over 35% to less than 15%
-
Form submission has increased from 4.4% to over 15% of all navigation actions reflecting the increase in web services. 43% of all form submissions involve search submission, followed by online dictionary and travel planners
-
New windows has jumped from less than 1% to over 10%
-
bookmarks, typing in urls, or home page buttons has remained relative steady around 10%
-
Link following has remained the most common navigation activity, accounting for 43.5% of page transitions
-
The researchers found that the nature of web navigation has changed over time. Comparing three web browsing studies ending in 1994, 1996, and 2005 revealed a shift in how users initiate web page visits (see Table 1). The most significant changes were the increase in submit and new window events and the decrease in the use of the back button.

F-shaped pattern of clicking activity similar to results found in eye tracking studies (see Figure 1). There appears to be a strong link between our eye and hand movements over the surface of web pages.

The authors recommend that web developers create concise, fast loading web pages to keep pace with the speed of web navigation.
