Users are still frustrated with the mobile web
Gomez, a web application experience management services provide, just commissioned a report on mobile web usage. FierceWireless gave the scoop on some important findings:
- 2/3 users have had problems using the mobile web
- Half of mobile web users are willing to wait only 6 to 10 seconds or less for a web page to load on their phone before giving up
- More than two thirds of respondents said they would be unlikely to recommend a mobile website they had trouble accessing
What does this mean?
People want the mobile internet faster and more reliable and are likely to give up if made to wait too long. Mobile developers ought to continue to consider optimizing content for smaller screens and slower access speeds.
