Tests came out as follows: php-mobile-detect: 7 seconds in 15.000 devices, 70% accuracy detectmobilebrowsers.com: 0.6 seconds in 15.000 devices, 93,5% accuracy The post I made is in spanish, but could serve as a reference: http://blog.unreal4u.com/2012/10/detectar-facilmente-un-dispositivo-movil/ As for the OP, I think that the best way would be PHP, because you can do a lot more, like not even redirecting the user but rather just load the mobile site directly, setting a session value if desktop version is forced or not. This way, any links would also be interchangeable, making it easier for you to implement specific functionality such as "send link through email" and other related things.
