Some characteristics of mobile-friendly websites

To make your website easier to read on the small screens of mobile devices, streamline text files and images. Reduce the size of text files by eliminating white space. Reduce the file size of images. Once you have identified the traffic as coming from a mobile, selectively send site content based on the data volumes the mobile devices can support.

Keep server connections to a minimum. While full desktop browsers can handle a large number of parallel connections, mobile browsers benefit from sites that create fewer connections. Use fewer hosts to minimize the number of connections.
