asgs115634yIt is not a surprise at all. Gmail is one of the fattest web apps I've used so far
Surprisingly, desktop version is given a much better score -
@Conrad The large PNG is a really bad idea, and then even scaled down in the browser, which is also bad for the other images. That's why the page is so bloated.
Use the picture tag instead, choose WebP (supports transparency) in appropriate dimensions as primary format, and PNG only as fallback for legacy browsers like IE and Safari. -
It's not GMail it's the login screen. And these are utility apps, you need them, so it won't matter even if it's slow.
