Building websites for the multi-Screen Consumer & Mobile site load time and images
After reading this whitepaper , URL below, for the 4th time, I have expanded my research and development for my responsive web sites. Most of you might already know that converting your site to responsive must be done.
Most of you might also know that your mobile site is the version of your site that Google will use to determine your Google rankings. I use mostly WordPress to build the majority of my sites. The main issue I am finding with WordPress and all other CMS platforms is data bloating. On page 7 of the whitepaper it reads Common mistakes: ? Data bloat. Don?t let mobile users download full-size images meant for big screens and fast speeds. Many WordPress responsive themes and plugins state that they deal with this issue, when in fact all they do is HIDE the content from the viewer. The content is downloaded by the user and just not shown to them. When the themes or plugins claim they disable the content, when in fact it is only hidden this causes excessive bloat of a web page. Especially with themes that allow for separate content for different devices. I discovered this after creating a page for a client with three versions, desktop, tablet and a mobile version. I then used the Google speed test tool. I was surprised and dismayed when I saw the results. While my designs did display optimally for each device type, the load time was ridiculous for phones and tablets. Desktop load slightly decreased, also. To some of you this might be old news and you may already have a solution. As I assume that is the point of this forum, to share and learn, please share your ideas, solutions and positive comments. http://static.googleusercontent.com/...ch-studies.pdf

We use separate mobile and PC sub domains.
I think you need to separate out contribution marginal income of each device to justify a mobile first design approach but that seems to me to be the direction we are heading. Quote:
