That's why you want to transmit all above the fold content before the exponential backoff really kicks in. And prerendering is horrible on mobile networks — data caps are already insanely low, and this is reducing their usabile amount even further. Personally, I test my websites and apps on a Moto G (2014) on a 2G network throttled to 64kbps, using the worst network available in Germany — and on an emulator giving the phone the entire power of an i7-6700, 16GB ram, and a 100Mbps line — and prerendering provides no meaningful performance benefit in either case. (I'm currently still trying to improve performance on https://quasseldroid.info/ https://quasseldroid.info/, but it's as much as I've got for now)
