In exchange for receiving a mobile website for free, companies must first sign up with Google's mobile ad service platform. Ms Saranee said Google had selected Thailand as one of several countries to offer the subsidised mobile ad programme to help local SMEs capitalise on the fast-growing mobile ad market, as well as boost Google's mobile ad revenue. In addition, 53% of mobile website visitors leave a page that takes longer than three seconds to load. Google is offering a free online tool, testmysite.com website, which allows people to test how long their websites take to load on mobile devices.
