Android Central Question

I was looking at a website and noticed the time was 7:15am i then did something in 10 seconds and noticed th time was then 7:18am. +3 minutes in a span of 10 seconds? I was almost convinced it was something wrong with me but i managed to take a screenshot of when it said 7:15.
I looked at the picture saying the time at that point was 7:15 i looked at the data and it said it was taken at 7:17.
Does anyone have a explanation? To me best i can come up with is that it was 7:17 but the clock on the screen didnt update somehow?
 
That's probably it - the screen wasn't updating in real time. (On most sites, once you connect to the site, that's it - nothing changes unless you refresh the screen. If that particular site is using AJAX to keep the time current [and I can't see why anyone would], it's not keeping up.)

If it was a news feed with the time in the crawler area (the bottom of the screen), those are notoriously inaccurate when you see them on a website.
