Mobile Web Sites 30% Slower than PC-Accessed Sites

Mobile Web sites are 30 percent slower than PC-based Web browsing, say Gomez, a provider of Web application experience management and web performance benchmarking, and dotMobi, the mobile domain registrar. 

Mobile Web applications and sites do not yet match the performance levels of “traditional” Web applications, the firms say. Among the five metrics not measured and monitored by Gomez are "discoverability," how readily a consumer can find the mobile Web site using different URLs.

"Readiness" measures how well the mobile Web site renders on popular mobile devices. "Availability" measures the percentage of successful transactions or the availability of a Web page.

"Response time" is a measurement of  how long each page takes to download and the duration of an entire transaction.
"Consistency" looks at how well the mobile Web site performs on different mobile carriers, in different geographies and time frames.
