Google search ranking will drop for websites that are not mobile friendly.

Despite my efforts and good performance of the website on such devices, Google is still not happy.
Will need to tweak the homepage and some of the elements some more...

I guess the website design could become more responsive via CSS3 media tags, so where content is in 2 or 3 column style they could simply become single column, also little buttons could become bigger and some graphics could be avoided altogether. An additional stylesheet could be loaded if the website figures out the client is mobile based, will look into it and figure out all the possibilities and implementation details.

Issue #818 is related to this. Recently optimized the media images, trimming about a total of 4 megabytes, providing smaller images for mobiles could trim even more. The downscaled versions could eventually be done automatically using grunt, gulp or bower.
