I wonder how accurate are the results really, or maybe I wasn't interpreting the numbers correctly. Accessing Google.com from my Moto G7 Power (a phone about 30% faster than G4 in terms of CPU performance) shows no seconds long delay. In face it feels almost instant.
On the other hand it seems to give a fair critique to other sites that are known to be bloated such as the one below.

- kiwijamo 5y agoWonder if it's due to a warm cache. I never use Google (hence it won't have google.com cached) and accessing it from Firefox on my high-end Android S21 takes a few seconds to load via my NZ fibre connection. Certainty not instant. DuckDuckGo on the other hand loads nearly instantly (although it's probably a warm cache on my part). To be more fair I tried Bing (which I also never use) which seems to be on par with Google, I suspect due to Bing loading a photogenic but ultimately useless background image.

The Google.com front page still loads in about 1 second and it honest feels identical on an actual phone. Despite what other comments seems to suggest here, the Google landing pages is actually pretty clean and not very heavy on the JavaScript.
