Question: WHY is it necessary to have (2) duplicate PAGES for mobile mode and classic mode (desktop/website)?
A page is a page and should be read via mobile or desktop?…absolutely ridiculous?????
Hello blogwire,
Please notice that this is not a ridiculous, sorry! I guess that you are referring to the Mobile Editor, right? So, please notice that this section appears only if the mobile plugin is active and there you will add any text you will have to display in your mobile mode but using the mobile theme. If you will read our documentation about this concept, you will find out that mobile theme will render only 2 modules on the front end and this type of text, if it will be added there. -> at the front of the page will appear a Big Grid which is filtered by Featured Category, the text, and the Latest Articles module in the bottom of the page. For more information about our Mobile Theme, please check the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Mobile devices need smaller footprint page loads for better user experience and SEO, etc.
Complex page => desktop
Simpler page, less bandwidth, smaller footprint => mobile
This is why Google and others have come with alternate solutions like AMP, etc.
Mobile speed *is* now a ranking factor for mobile with majority of web traffic NOW on mobile devices.
So, the idea is NOT ridiculous, but clever way of serving two version of site when “responsive” alone is not enough for some people. And surprise, you can turn it off if you RTFM.
