A comparison between responsive Web sites and adaptive Web sites

Development difficulty Comparison

Adaptive web site development is more complex (different screen adaptation control) and simple (independent of the PC side), but easy to maintain and debug (only the mobile side of the processing of events).

Responsive web development is relatively simple (just through media query to adjust) and complex (with PC-side page elements of the degree of coupling), but not easy to debug and maintenance (binding the mobile end and the mobile side of the processing events).

Page Performance Comparisons

Adaptive site only mobile end of the layout and style (less content), download to the browser immediately display, so performance fast.

Response Web site not only has the layout and style of the mobile end, as well as the layout and style of the PC (more content), download to the browser after the page layout adjustment and then display, so slow performance.

PS: Response Web site also has a way to raise high-performance, is to screen load different media query style, the selective loading of resources. But performance is still not as adaptive as the Web site.

User Experience Comparisons

The responsive web site ensures consistency between the PC end and the mobile end, streaming layout.

The adaptive site ensures a more user-friendly experience on the mobile side.

SEO Comparison

Adaptive sites do not easily aggregate site weights, but can be aggregated by redirection weights.

Response-type web site easily aggregated weight, easy to move the weight of the end of the PC and the weight of the stack, improve the site rankings.

PS: This approach is the computer end and the mobile end of the use of a separate Web site.

Summary: Recommend the development of adaptive web sites, the pursuit of performance and user experience. (Most Internet companies are separate from the mobile end of the web PC end)

Responsive Web sites are not suitable for developing more complex web sites. (involving some animation interaction effects, too many page elements)

It is recommended to develop a responsive computer site (transition to the flat end, not to the mobile end) and develop a set of responsive mobile phone-side web sites (transition to the size of the lower end of the plate, not transition to the flat end)
