Why do so many mobile versions of sites run worse on phone than desktop versions? (sffa.community)

As a web dev, I'm sorry.

Part of the problem are the huge chunks of Javascript I'm sending to you. The browser has to download it, unpack it and then run it.

Other issues include ads, telemetry, tracking, and much more.

There are ways to make mobile websites faster (quite a lot actually) but companies want good enough most of the time so that's what I'm getting payed for.
