This set of benchmarks is often helpful:

Particularly the "last mile" or "Chrome Homepage" tabs.

They cover the top websites, grouped into categories like "Retail", "Travel", "Media", etc.

The disparity across competitors is pretty stunning, with some websites getting close to 1 second to download/render a page, and others taking 6, 7, 8 , even 10 seconds. And these are all big, well known, companies.

And, for the most part, it all correlates very well to total page weight, and total number of artifacts on the page (js/css/images/etc). There are some exceptions, but it's a pretty strong correlation.
