> One time I learned from Google's documentation that it was best not to spawn content after loading which affects page layout.

This appears to be the norm, not the exception, in most mobile pages I reluctantly visit. I don't understand how mobile website developers can stand to work on their own sites--I give up in frustration after about 10 seconds.



I have the same issue. But it's part of a general trend for me; I struggle to use "mobile" or "responsive" websites entirely more and more these days. As a result, the amount of times I request "desktop" view on a mobile device has been steadily growing and for more sites. They're trying to be "too fancy", for lack of a better way of expressing such a thing, and it's having knock-on usability effects.


I find myself gritting my teeth sometimes at the design decisions I'm left to implement.


they're loading from localhost and don't perceive any delay


No, we hate it too, trust me.
