Mobile vs Desktop
Understand when to measure each device and why results may differ.
Why results change
Mobile and Desktop use different lab conditions. Mobile is usually stricter and helps expose issues affecting users with limited devices or networks.
Desktop is useful for B2B apps, backoffice flows or sessions mostly used on computers.
When to use each
- Use Mobile for public pages, ecommerce, landing pages and general traffic.
- Use Desktop for internal apps, B2B SaaS and workflows mainly used on computers.
- Use both when you need before/after comparison or stronger prioritization context.
