Mobile Detection Methodology
Our mobile detection examines multiple technical signals to classify website mobile
implementations. Responsive design detection analyzes viewport meta tags, media queries,
and CSS breakpoints. PWA detection identifies service worker registrations, web app
manifests, and offline capabilities. AMP detection finds AMP HTML implementations
and canonical relationships.
Mobile app detection scans for App Store and Play Store links, Smart App Banners,
deep linking implementations, and app-related meta tags. We identify both native
app presence and the integration sophistication between web and mobile apps. This
comprehensive approach reveals the full mobile strategy rather than single dimensions.
Mobile data becomes especially valuable combined with other classification dimensions.
E-commerce platforms
have distinct mobile patterns. Enterprise companies
invest differently than startups. Industry verticals
show varying mobile priorities. Our API enables
these multi-dimensional analyses for targeted insights.
Mobile Strategy Insights
The choice between PWA and native apps reveals business strategy and resource allocation.
PWAs offer cross-platform reach with lower development costs. Native apps provide
deeper device integration and app store presence. Companies with both demonstrate
significant mobile investment. Understanding competitor approaches through our database
informs your own mobile roadmap decisions.
AMP adoption patterns vary significantly by business model.
Publishers and content sites heavily adopt AMP for search visibility. E-commerce sites
have mixed adoption due to implementation complexity. SaaS companies rarely use AMP
given their app-focused user journeys. These patterns help contextualize mobile
intelligence for your specific market segment.
For web development agencies and consultants, mobile classification identifies
modernization opportunities. Desktop-only sites
represent potential projects. Legacy mobile sites (m.domain patterns) need responsive
redesigns. Companies without PWA features but with high traffic
could benefit from performance optimization. Our data supports targeted prospecting
for development services.
