What's your take: responsive theme vs. mobile plugin
Quote:
| Typically WPtouch-served mobile pages are a fraction of the size of a responsive web page. The main reason for this is that responsive design is a client-side mobile web strategy, while WPtouch is a server-side web strategy. What that means is that with Responsive Design (client-side) all content, files, images, etc., are sent to the mobile device and extra CSS determines the layout of the webpage and what will be shown/hidden on the mobile device. With WPtouch (server-side) we use user-agent detection first to determine what we’ll send to the device, starting with not sending the desktop theme and instead serving the mobile theme you choose and setup in the WPtouch admin panel. This way we can specify exactly what should/should not be sent to the mobile device, instead of requiring the code to determine what to do on a mobile device being sent to it and requiring the mobile device itself to sort out all that code.
