This was more interesting than I expected. Though they didn’t clarify why it costs $700,000, given the context I assume it’s customers on slower devices/connectivity leaving rather than something like bandwidth?

One retailer realized they were losing $700,000 a year per kilobyte of JavaScript, Russell said.

It’s a retailer so definitely lost sales or conversions

At $700k per kb, it really can't be anyone other than Amazon.
