BTW, if anyone wonders, the Mobile Device Screen Resolution they are testing against is 411px × 731 px.

This tool is fun if you feel your site's not up-to-scratch, try some popular sites like Bing.com or a major portal and see how they are supposedly slow or not-so-friendly, even Google only manages 100/100/99 :-)
