There are six pages to click though to before you get your result. \u00a0First there are two! welcome pages and then a separate page each sex, weight, type\/number of drinks and time. \u00a0Surely several of these could be combined. \u00a0The welcome could easily go on one page along with the sex and weight selection. \u00a0The time period text box doesn&#8217;t need a page of its own either, there is no reason it couldn&#8217;t be combined with the type and number of drinks selection. With these changes the pages would still be under the 10KB of markup that the least capable phones are limited too. \u00a0Fewer pages would mean less time wasted on network overhead and would make the whole experience less tedious. <em>Source:<\/em> <a title=\"mobile site\" href=\"http:\/\/mobility.mobi\/showthread.php?t=24930\">Mobility.mobi<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Filed in<\/em>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/index.php?id=131\">Wap Review Directory &#8211; Reference<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Ratings:<\/em> Content:\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-blue-star.gif\" alt=\"*\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-blue-star.gif\" alt=\"*\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-blue-star.gif\" alt=\"*\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-blue-star.gif\" alt=\"*\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/blue-starOL.gif\" alt=\"*\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/> Usability:\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-red-star.gif\" alt=\"X\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-red-star.gif\" alt=\"X\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/sm-red-star.gif\" alt=\"_\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/red-starOL.gif\" alt=\"X\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/images\/red-starOL.gif\" alt=\"X\" width=\"15\" height=\"13\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span>Mobile Link<\/span>:\u00a0<a title=\"mobile site\" href=\"http:\/\/b4udrink.mobi\">b4udrink.mobi<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/ready.mobi\/results.jsp?uri=http:\/\/b4udrink.mobi\/&amp;locale=en_EN\">Ready.mobi <\/a>score:<\/em> 4 (Good)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Century Council, an alcoholic beverage industry group, is sponsoring a free blood alcohol checking site on the mobile web at b4udrink.mobi. \u00a0The idea is that before you go out to a party or a night on the town you use the site to calculate your projected blood alcohol concentration. \u00a0If the result is over the legal limit of .08 you are warned. if you plan on getting really sloshed by say, downing 10 shots in an hour you will &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/2235\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14168,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[208],"tags":[519,518,148,128],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2235"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2235"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2240,"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2235\/revisions\/2240"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wapreview.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
