Facebook explains what's wrong with the mobile web
Personally, I think the problem is people trying to be too clever, and loading too much content at once.<p>Loading tons of JavaScript means that Facebook loads very slowly on my phone on mobile internet. And what is it needed for? The most the JS needs to do is make a pop-down notifications panel, and do one or two AJAX requests to post comments and "like" items. Looking at the Network panel in Chrome, I see Facebook has pulled down 700KB of JavaScript. Why? How could they possibly need that much code?<p>Facebook also seems to think that sending full-size images down to my phone, instead of compressed previews, isn't a problem. No wonder the GPU memory is exhausted!
