It’s good to see more people in the community trying to move beyond the original concepts of responsive design and focus more upon what is best for the user (performance being one of those things).

Still, the basic concept of the article to look beyond RWD and find ways to make the web faster is absolutely what we should be aiming for.

Delivering a fast, usable and compatible experience to all mobile devices has always been a challenge, and it’s no different when you are implementing a responsive technique. Embracing performance from the beginning is easier.
