How fast is "fast"?

Hello everybody, I hope that you guys are having a wonderful day.
I have a question about the landing page's loading speed.
I'm currently running popads on mobile, and I'm wondering that are my landing pages fast enough?
GEO: USA
Here are the results from GTMetrix
Page Speed Score: 95%
YSlow Score: 91%
Page load time (I tested 10 times): 0.4-0.7s
Is it good enough?
Thank you

The fastest web page load times I've seen are 0.15-0.25 seconds. Anything close to 0.5 is still *fast*.

Yup. If you're below about 0.7sec load time you're good to go.

Pops CAN benefit from being even faster than that, but it gets tricky to achieve those load times in most geos. You could probably get them faster given you're targeting pops at the USA, but it depends on the design of your pages.

(If you want to go hunting those load speeds in the US: NO external assets of any kind, inline CSS and javascript, very very optimised images, and host on a very well-peered nginx server you control in the USA with no CDN. )

<0,5sec: fast
0,5-1sec: acceptable
>1sec: slow

Thank you everybody, I guess my landing pages are good to go. If I see any optimization I can do, I will.
