This site has (canonical) desktop/full and (alternate, lighter-weight) mobile/"lite" views, both responsive design. The "lite" site is optimised for slow/expensive high-latency connections and smaller screens. Switching on data-saving mode (Save-Data) in your browser may reduce bandwidth further.
As of December 2018 there is also an AMP site version, much like the mobile/"lite" version, but possibly faster for vistors from Google search for the first page at least, because of the AMP cache. Not every page can be reproduced for AMP because of restrictions that the AMP format imposes, and a few minor features may be missing from all AMP page versions.
