What is the first thing to make you leave a website? - GoFuckYourself.com

chaze · 01-21-2011, 11:24 AM

For me if the site is slow or has too much junk on it I bail.

What makes you leave a site just because of the design or function?

Share My GF · 01-21-2011, 11:27 AM

Crappy Design / Link Farms

Tom_PM · 01-21-2011, 11:28 AM

Yep, too slow. Ugly cluttered backgrounds. Terrible non-contrasting text colors where they expect people to read. Crap like that.

Roald · 01-21-2011, 11:29 AM

Slow websites

xenigo · 01-21-2011, 11:30 AM

I usually leave when I get that notification from Avast that a trojan is being installed... Really ruins an otherwise great experience.

LeRoy · 01-21-2011, 11:32 AM

If there's a ton of ugly girls. I'm out

also if it's slow. C ya

PR_Glen · 01-21-2011, 11:47 AM

loud music or videos that auto play... I have webmasters coming to me from time to time with 'ratio issues' sometimes and i'll load up their site and they have some hardcore shit playing loud in the background or live cam models doing shout outs at full volume. I picture people surfing our sites at night, maybe listening to a bit of music, checking out some porn while they listen discretely to some Phil Collins.. then BLAM! loud screaming and groaning waking up the whole house hold... click and close ;)

People like control when they are surfing, give them that and they will stay for a bit!

...yeah loading slow and banner farms are bad too.

Forgot about that, any videos that have auto load or music and I'm gone almost every time.

There should be laws against this lol.

TeenSluts · 01-21-2011, 01:14 PM

Flash banners with rollover sounds , ex. Gfy a few years ago

spazlabz · 01-21-2011, 01:17 PM

a lot of good reasons listed here

my biggest pet peeve with site would have to be the light colored text on a light colored background! I mean SHIT a person with perfect eyesight would have problems with those, my eyes suck and it gives me an instant headache

Black All Through · 01-21-2011, 01:21 PM

Anything misleading: thumbs, fake video players, videos below the fold, popunders....

ottopottomouse · 01-21-2011, 01:26 PM

Autoplay music.
Slow loading.
Overcomplicated flash.

izzynew · 01-21-2011, 01:28 PM

Slow loading. And if it's really slow I click the red 'x' before it even finishes opening.
If the index page is that slow, what's the point in hanging around and trying to open other pages?

V_RocKs · 01-21-2011, 01:29 PM

Clicking something that doesn't work. Especially if they are selling me something.

If it's some site I know has been around a bit, I'll do a "Clean Computer" and keep going.

Slow... auto sound... pop-ups...

Zyber · 01-21-2011, 03:22 PM

It usually helps if the website has a link you can click on - makes it much easier to leave!

czarina · 01-21-2011, 03:23 PM

slow load time

d-null · 01-21-2011, 04:18 PM

TheDoc · 01-21-2011, 04:26 PM

If the site does not have what I'm looking for I leave... otherwise I always stay.

loreen · 01-21-2011, 04:27 PM

If I don't see what I'm looking for at first glance.
Also small alexa rank if I'm looking to buy something.

Small alexa rank, that's interesting. Never would of thought of that. I do a google search for the name and expect atleast 10k results.

Some Guy · 01-21-2011, 05:27 PM

I have the attention span of a gnat. If a site takes more than a few seconds to load... I'm out. Auto-playing music also makes me run for the hills. I also hit the road if a site looks like it was designed by a five-year-old (comic sans) or is too cluttered.

In summation: I only like sites that don't annoy me.

blackmonsters · 01-21-2011, 05:42 PM

I will turn my sound down.
I will tolerate red text on blue background....(if 3 advils are available)

But a pop up????

or alert box???

I close the site immediately and never go back.

I dumped a sponsor I had been using for years after they decided to put
an alert box on a non-console link.

Someone mentioned that surfers like control.
To me, a pop up/alert is the ultimate in non-control.

BlackCrayon · 01-21-2011, 05:50 PM

auto music/video

Ayla_SquareTurtle · 01-21-2011, 06:09 PM

1. autoplay music/video
2. popups/unders or any related BS
3. blinking things
4. bad text on bad backgrounds
5. any unusual code that forces things to happen, ie, forces all links to open in new window

frankie_gunn · 01-21-2011, 06:42 PM

Not finding what i was looking for.

deadbabes · 01-21-2011, 06:47 PM

Great question! For me, it's seizure inducing banners-and slow loading.

u-Bob · 01-21-2011, 07:17 PM

*music. (music or videos that autoplay = closed tab)
*flashy backgrounds.
*sloooooooooow sites.
*css mistakes... (like namecheap's new crappy design).
*sites that are hard to navigate. (remember if a webmaster has trouble finding something on your site, you can forget about a surfer finding it).

Zorgman · 01-21-2011, 07:29 PM

- Too slow
- Same color text on background (black on black etc).

potter · 01-21-2011, 08:10 PM

if it's flash

those ads that take up all of the screen

music

slower than shit

bad UI and i can't even figure out wtf i'm supposed to do

or bad UI where i can't find the information i need in <2 clicks

Barry-xlovecam · 01-21-2011, 08:19 PM

Lots of thumbs set up to skim traffic ...

C H R I S · 01-21-2011, 08:20 PM

Slow and tons of ads.... I am amazed at how many ads someone can put on their site and think its tolerable.

closer · 01-21-2011, 08:23 PM

Any website that does not do / offer what you expect from it = close tab

- audio
- non-essential javascripts ("do you really want to leave?")
- wrong design choices
- sherlock holmes UI
- load time
- blind links
- banner / link farms
- having to logon multiple times / short session times
- DHTML ads you need to click away before you can see the content
- sites that want my underwear size before I can get to view something

webair · 01-21-2011, 08:31 PM

POPO UP

or music
