Image-heavy responsive sites drag down mobile performance: report - Research - Mobile Marketer | #TheMarketingTechAlert | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it

Basic/ Condensed...


An analysis of 155 responsive sites finds that only 32 — or 21 percent — of sites load in four seconds or less, according to a report from Trilibis launching today.

 

“This is particularly true for responsive design Web sites, where the same codebase and associated images are sent to all devices from PCs to mobile phones. It is best to optimize images for mobile devices at the server level, which delivers lighter pages, faster load times and a better user experience.”

Five reasons to choose mobile over responsive

So why would some companies choose mobile specific over responsive? Here are some possible reasons...

 

1) Guarding the desktop conversion 

A responsive solution means having to make some compromises on either a desktop or tablet site in order to get the technology to work.

2) Companies focused on growing mobile conversion 

3) Large amounts of mobile traffic justifies having a dedicated team

4) Performance, performance, performance

5) Sites where mobile users have a different journey to desktop users

Marteq's insight:

The author is referring to adaptive web design over responsive, and if you have the resources and wherewithal, then yes, pursue AWD, if only to prevent performance slowdown.
