Matt Welsh interviewed at Velocity 2011
summary
Google's mobile web team diagnoses slow pages as a protocol and radio mismatch and is measuring the ecosystem with HTTP Archive to find concrete fixes. The explicit target is to improve mobile web performance by 30% across the web within a year or two. Findings include that 4G/LTE can hit ~25 megabits per second but real-world latency and device diversity make stripping pages down to 1997-style simplicity often the fastest practical win.
