When I started this site seven years ago, less than 7 percent of the traffic came from mobile devices. Only slightly more than 4 percent came from iPhones and less than 3 percent came from Android devices. Seven years later, everything has changed.
In 2018, almost 36 percent of the traffic comes from iPhones. Another 24 percent of you come from Android devices. That means 60 percent of you come from mobile devices. (For the rest, it’s 27 percent from Windows, 10 percent from Macs and everything else combined for the remaining 3 percent.)
This site was never designed with mobile traffic in mind. In 2011, mobile devices were afterthoughts for most websites. My code gives mobile users the same experience desktop users get — and that’s simply not good enough anymore.
