Responsive Design: Great for Web Sites, Hard for Mobile Devices

Responsive Design: Great for Web Sites, Hard for Mobile Devices

Responsive web design (RWD) is generally regarded, as CMSWire writer Tom Murphy noted today, "just fine for now." But a new survey from Trilibis, a provider of mobile development solutions, claims mobile performance on responsive design websites is often "unacceptable."

Four out of five RWD websites provide suboptimal page weight and load time on mobile devices, according to the survey, "Responsive Web Design: Why Image Optimization Is Crucial for a Mobile-Friendly Customer Experience."

The survey examined 155 responsive websites. Of these, Trilibis found only 21 percent loaded in less than four seconds on a smartphone. Nearly a third required between eight and 48 seconds to load, with equivalent connectivity.
