I wish when accepting donations, websites would stop caching the total collected amount or give it a super short TTL. I like to see the little progress bar get closer to the goal thanks to my couple of bucks.

If they are only counting fully cleared funds, your payment might not be relevant yet. Some fraud checks are not synchronous, for instance.

Though they could fake it: take the current cleared total and add your amount for your display.
