The OP explicitly mentions a "Mobile - Emerging Markets" speed test, which is a nice benchmark. I sometimes try to browse the web on EDGE or weak 3G, and 99% of sites do not load in reasonable time, or at all. The old-wide-web of 56k modems would be perfect for it, but websites and javascripts got really obese nowadays: * 14KB site https://www.webpagetest.org/result/170424_EP_VE7/ https://www.webpagetest.org/result/170424_EP_VE7/ * 443KB bbc https://www.webpagetest.org/result/170424_RQ_VK2/ https://www.webpagetest.org/result/170424_RQ_VK2/ * 3652KB the verge, of course https://www.webpagetest.org/result/170424_44_WCC/ https://www.webpagetest.org/result/170424_44_WCC/ But I applaud BBC's effort, I hope to see lighter and faster web even though we move to Fiber and 4G.
