What should be filed here? I cannot find any consistency amongst various webites.

Navigation forms an important factor on your site. I believe Amazon is a perfect example of how tabs can make navigation easier.

Any suggestions for alternative navigation structures/metaphors if you have too many tabs? (Apart from grouping tabs, which may be a possibility in this case)

First of all, thanks for your comment. I have retrieved the 0.1s response time (mentioned in guideline#12) from Jakob Nielsen’s post: Tabs, Used Right (which is listed in the Inspiration for this post section). In it he cites a paper that may interest you: Response Times: The 3 Important Limits

I’m curious about the 0.1s number in guideline #12. How was this determined? Do you have more numbers for user expectations around other types of interactions?

In fact, in point 12 I wrote that one must ensure fast response times when using tabs.

My next question is, are users not increasingly expecting tabs’ content to be preloaded or loaded with AJAX (no page refresh between tabs)?
