I swear every mobile site is absolute garbage that runs like ass on phones.

If done well this isn't a noticeable performance impact. CSS is blazingly fast and even mobile devices can handle thousands of rules essentially instantly... sometimes, however, modern web frameworks use Javascript to either dynamically rewrite rules or, worse even, manually apply different styles to individual elements based on page width.

Also, react is a bloated piece of shit that can make any page take forever to load on a 3g or lower connection... and it's extremely popular.
