In 2009, 20% of people said they would leave after waiting 5 seconds for a mobile site to load. Today, that number is 74%. In spite of hardware limitations, network connectivity and latency issues, mobile users expect a fast, responsive mobile experience. It will be the sites that can provide their users the content they need quickly and efficiently that will be rewarded with user loyalty.
In this session, we'll identify some of the unique performance bottlenecks that mobile presents. We'll take a look at some of the tools for identifying those issues as well as how we can go about fixing them. We'll explore the latest in mobile performance tools and techniques in order to arm ourselves with the information we will need to give our users the faster experience they want.
Developing for the Anywhere, Everywhere Web
By Tim Kadlec
We are just now starting to understand and embrace the web for what it truly is—an inherently flexible and responsive medium. As the number of internet-connected devices explodes, we are forced to reassess how we create our sites and applications. We don't know for certain what device our users will be using or where they'll be using them from. All we know is that they will expect to see meaningful content in a design that is tailored to the constraints of the device, and that this content will be delivered to them quickly—no matter where they are.
This session what it means to embrace the inherent flexibility of the web. We will discuss where our current practices and tools fall short. We'll also take a look at how new techniques like responsive enhancement can help.
