Mobile First Indexing is not about just to get the best performance number at web.dev. The thing is to make really easy-to-use website on mobiles. How to do it? Well, if you have a new product, I recommend you to build firstly version for mobiles, not computers. It's all because of traffic: people mostly use websites on their smartphones. In 2021 you can't just convert your UI to phone-sizes. It's not optimizing. It sucks. The reason is people use one product on computers and mobile devices differently.

@illos Thanx Ilya...but is it only about building a mobile friendly site? How do we optimize our content to rank higher on mobile search? Is it the same as we do for desktops?

We usually use LightSpeed for basic metrics https://web.dev/interactive/ Mobile First is an industry standard already.

From 2019 lots of sites implmented it by making the sites for mobile device.
