Like they couldn't have said: "On average form load times dropped by 15.3%, which resulted in 4.3% better conversion rates"
For some mysterious reason they forgot to include the punchline, that conversions increased by X.X%...

Let me comment here. Generally, the peak transaction time during the day in a region is in the afternoon/evening, and this is going through the various regions. Ie conversions and declines are higher in the morning(MST) because it is peak time in other parts of the world and domestic traffic generally converts better.
At any given point, connectivity is poor for 10-35% of the regions that are hitting their peak time. In other words, when we hear a consumers complaints about a clients sites speed, we will hit it from other parts of the world and its is frequently slow in
some areas?you cant download a trailer faster than 2k
We don?t want to throw conversion numbers out because its hard to qualify unless both the site + processing pages are on the CDN?but it does make a difference when one site lets you download a 300 meg file in 30 seconds and the other site takes 4 hours.
