A comment on GitHub Pages with a custom root domain is slow.

Can someone explain how "Visitors to this site’s index page have an average page load time of 3.5 seconds. 70% of those are here for the first time. 3.5 ÷ 70% = 5. So first time visitors have an average page load time of 5 seconds." makes any kind of mathematical sense?

If only 10% of visitors were first time, would that mean their average page load speed was 35 seconds? This is some crazy use of the word "average".

The assumption is that repeat visitors have a load time of 0.

As a builder of an internal app that is essentially 99.999% repeat visitors, I need to figure out a way to replicate that behavior!
