Steve Souders: Mobile site speed increased by 30% in one year

Steve Souders, Google's chief web performance engineer, said that according to data tracked by the Google Analytics service, web pages load 30% faster on mobile browsers than they did a year ago. Souders also said that for desktop browser users, web pages load 3.5% faster than a year ago. Souders said that broadband and wireless connection services are steadily increasing in network speed, but they are not the main factor in the improvement of network performance. He pointed out: "I think the improvement of browsers is the main driver of the improvement in network speed."

Mobile web performance is often hampered by factors such as large web pages, slow network speeds and limited processors. Slower web pages mean less user usage, which is a major problem for companies like Google that rely on online activity to generate profits.
Google will hold its I/O developer conference in a few days, and network performance is one of the issues that developers are worried about. Many factors affect how fast a web page loads, such as network speed, web server software, website design, and browsers. Google is trying to improve in all of these areas to generate more revenue for itself.
