A counterpoint however is that, for many Western sites at least, our mobiles are perhaps not quite as low-powered as tools such as Lighthouse in mobile mode suggest, as these are quite throttled. This is applicable to pages that receive little to no traffic, so small sites without field data don’t need to be worried.
