?echniques you can use to make your websites faster on mobile devices

A recent study (PDF) found that more than 80% of people are disappointed with the experience of browsing Web on mobile devices and would use their smartphones more if the browsing experience improved. This isn’t surprising when 64% of smartphone users expect websites to load in 4 seconds or less, while the average website takes more than twice that amount, at 9 seconds. This article explains techniques you can use to make your websites faster on mobile devices.

 

Download Speeds For Mobile Users

Let’s start by looking at what influences the loading speed of a website on a smartphone.

The most obvious factor is the connection speeds of smartphones. In the best-case scenario, mobile users connect to the Internet over 3G and 4G networks, with 4G networks being faster. In the US, 57% of users are on 3G, and 27% are on 4G. In Canada, 4G penetration is even lower. In the UK, 4G only recently became available.
