Keep pages under 5MB to ensure fast mobile loading times. Mobile devices use limited hardware and cellular networks, making large content slow to load. For optimal performance, minimize content per page.

Key tips for mobile optimization:

  • Test mobile compatibility using device preview or accessing directly on mobile devices
  • Maintain letter spacing at 0px or greater to prevent text overlap
  • Avoid overusing Spacer Blocks as they often hide on mobile, disrupting layouts
  • Enable mobile styles in template settings for proper content stacking
  • Minimize page size for faster loading on cellular networks

Test regularly by:

  1. Using the Mobile Compatibility Test tool
  2. Checking site on various mobile devices
  3. Testing on both WiFi and cellular connections

  • Adjust letter spacing to minimum 0px
  • Use proper spacing instead of Spacer Blocks
  • Enable mobile-specific template settings
  • Optimize images and media files

Remember that mobile performance varies by:

  • Device capabilities
  • Network connection (WiFi vs cellular)
  • Browser type
  • Hardware specifications

For best results:

  • Monitor page sizes regularly
  • Test across multiple devices
  • Optimize all media content
  • Use responsive design elements
  • Maintain clean, minimal layouts

Setting up mobile styles:

  1. Open the Design panel
  2. Click Template Settings
  3. Ensure "Disable mobile styles" is unchecked
  4. Test layout in device preview

Additional considerations:

  • Large media files impact load times
  • Content density affects mobile display
  • Letter spacing influences readability
  • Template settings determine mobile layout
  • Network conditions affect performance

Regular testing and optimization ensure your site remains mobile-friendly and accessible to all users regardless of their device or connection type.
