<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Roger-</div><div><br></div><div>Considering the factors that can go into *timing* a page load it might be better to use page weight and total number of assets to load as a better baseline for comparing sites from a page load perspective. I have a blog post that looked at page weight across a number of higher ed mobile sites and it can be found at <a href="http://www.dmolsen.com/mobile-in-higher-ed/?p=180">http://www.dmolsen.com/mobile-in-higher-ed/?p=180</a>. </div><div><br></div><div>For what it's worth WVU Mobile Web is very hefty at 330k. I believe it was one of the heavier mobile sites I reviewed. The heaviest though was 1.98MBs. I use minify (I think that's the name) to combine and compress JavaScript and CSS assets. I also compress files served from our server. Most of the heft comes from jQuery & jQTouch. In my latest mobile project I've been playing with zepto.js as a lightweight replacement for jQuery and I've rolled my own jQTouch replacement. </div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps. <br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Feb 25, 2011, at 9:48 AM, Roger Wolf <<a href="mailto:Roger.Wolf@ucf.edu">Roger.Wolf@ucf.edu</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>
