Mobile website redirect to desktop site?
If visiting a page such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page on a mobile device redirects you to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page then why doesn't the reverse ever happen? I.e. sending desktop users away from m.
subdomains.
I understand that the basic answer is "it requires more programming", albeit minuscule, so why is the effort never put in?
The m.
subdomain was the de facto method for presenting a mobile site to visitors and I don't recall ever coming across a site that would direct desktop users away from m.
subdomains even though they often times looked terrible, barren, or downright broken on a desktop.
My question stems from lack of experience in ever developing m.
websites so I am hoping for some insight from others that had to develop m.
sites.
