" summary

Claims that mobile web usage is surging but pages get heavier, with 72% mobile page views in India, average mobile speeds around 1.7 Mbps, and web pages increasing 50% in weight from 2013 to 2015. Examples include fonts failing when offline, intrusive app/install and ad overlays that block reading, banks forcing “view desktop” workarounds, and a test showing the Meta Refresh site downloads 8.3 MB via whatdoesmysitecost.com with large cost implications.
