The Nepali user is the small screen and the mid-tier connection, and the mobile-first site is the one that is built for the two, not the one that is the desktop page made smaller. This guide is the order, the weight that has to be cut, and the test that is the real one, and it is the mobile version of the speed and the accessibility, because the three are the same visitor.
This is judgment about your site; the specifics are the method, not a number.
The order, and why it is the whole of it
The mobile-first is the order, and the order is the small screen and the mid-tier connection first, and the larger screen is the extra, not the base. The base that is the larger screen is the one that is made smaller, and it is the one that is not the mobile-first, because the made-smaller keeps the weight and the layout that is the larger one, and the mobile-first is the one that is the small, light one, and that is the difference.
The weight that has to be cut, the mobile version of the speed
The small screen has less room and the connection has less, and the cut is the same as the speed wins, in the mobile order:
| Cut | Why it is the mobile one | The speed twin |
|---|---|---|
| The big image | The small screen has less room for it, and the connection has less to carry it | The sized, compressed image |
| The code that is not on load | The small screen has less to run it, and the connection has less to fetch it | The deferred code |
| The font that blocks the text | The small screen is the text first, and the blocking font is the stuck page | The swapped font |
The three are the mobile-first, and they are the speed wins, because the speed and the mobile are the same visitor, and the cut is the one that is both, which is why the two guides are one, in making your website fast on Nepal's network.
The test that is the real one
The test is the two, the throttled mid-tier connection and the small screen, together, and the one that is true for the visitor is the two, not the lab. The lab test is the fast one, and it is not the user test, and the site that passes the two is the mobile-first one, and the one that is the accessibility check on the same two is the visitor with the screen reader and the slow line, which is the same person, in building an accessible website.
A sensible default
Build the page for the small screen and the mid-tier connection first, cut the image, the code and the font that are not the useful thing, and test on the two together. The three are the mobile-first for Nepal, and they are the speed and the accessibility, because they are the same visitor, and the page that is the two is the one the visitor has, which is the whole of the mobile-first.
Bottom line: the mobile-first site is the small screen and the mid-tier connection first, with the image, the code and the font cut to the useful thing, and tested on the two together. Do the three and the page is the one the visitor has, not the desktop one made smaller, and that is the mobile-first for Nepal.
FAQ
What does 'mobile-first' actually mean, here?
It means the small screen and the mid-tier connection are the design, not the afterthought. The page is built for the one the visitor has first, and the larger screen is the extra, and the order is the whole of it, because the design is the visitor, not the lab.
What has to be cut for the connection?
The weight that is not the useful thing: the big image, the code that is not needed on load, the font that blocks the text. The cut is the same as the speed wins, and it is the mobile version of them, because the small screen has less room and the connection has less.
What is the test that is the real one?
The throttled connection, the mid-tier one, and the small screen, together. The lab test is not the user test, and the one that is true for the visitor is the two, and the site that passes the two is the one that is the mobile-first one for Nepal.
