Moving to mobile-l. The main page changes a lot so it is not the best example. Today for example our image weight is 15.36 kB I'm a little confused what strategy=mobile does differently to strategy=desktop - any idea what that is doing differently? Note there is also a verbose mode: With recommendations to optimise the following images (there is one more but that is outside our control - it is a thumbnail of an image): http://en.m.wikipedia.org/images/mobile/wikipedia-wordmark-en.png Size: 1.8KiB Can be improved by 61% (good to know - I'm not sure where this file lives... how can we get this optimised?) The Barack Obama article is more damning (~1.97 MB with strategy=mobile whatever that means and 590.06 kB with strategy desktop). Sam Smith and I have been talking about only rendering the lead section in a future version of mobile and delaying loading of images / sections until they are needed. We previously explored this but it didn't get enough support and I think it is worth revisiting now the MobileFrontend code is in a stronger place.
