Good question — thanks to for flagging the duplicate and to @rajarajan2017 for calling out display differences. Mobile sites are not just smaller desktop pages: they face different constraints (network variability, battery/CPU limits, touch input, higher pixel densities) and different user contexts (on the move, shorter sessions). Those factors change what content is shown first, how resources are loaded, and which interactions feel natural.

Quick, practical checklist to apply now: design mobile‑first and set a clear content hierarchy; use responsive CSS and the viewport meta tag; avoid render‑blocking JavaScript and limit third‑party scripts; set a performance budget and measure with Lighthouse; prioritize critical assets, enable compression and caching, and lazy‑load below‑the‑fold resources; make tappable controls roughly 44–48 CSS pixels, simplify forms, and prefer native inputs where possible; test on real devices and on throttled network conditions. For support of very old or low‑end phones, consider a lightweight separate view or server‑side adaptive markup.

Authoritative guidance: see MDN on responsive design and the viewport meta tag, and practical mobile performance techniques on web.dev and Lighthouse for measurement and optimization.

There is no space to display all the things at a time to that small screen. Infact real desktop system faces many browser problems on displaying webpage in different sizes. The contents that you have to view in desktop will not exactly matched to the mobile compatabilty. It shows image, text, mp3 and video stuff in a compressed way. Thats why we have different view in mobile browser when compare to desktop browser.
