Tractor Boys' site top of the online Premiership

Ipswich Town's website was the top performing site last month of all Premiership teams in terms of time taken to access it.

The Tractor Boys' site took an average 3.21 seconds to download - compared to 6.81 seconds and 7.01 seconds respectively for glamour clubs Manchester United and Arsenal.

Second in the online Premiership was Everton, with Dirty Leeds in third - proving there's little correlation between performance online and performance on the pitch. However, Premiership 'surprise package' Newcastle are also doing well online - claiming fourth spot with an impressive 3.91 seconds.

Further down the list Bolton, Blackburn and Middlesbrough, no strangers to the lower reaches of any table, are all fighting to stave off virtual relegation, though bottom of the heap are Leicester whose real-life form is mirrored with an equally pitiful performance online - their site taking 10.72 seconds to download as measured by Keynote.
