Hi! Do we know if there is a mobile site for http://www.onpe.gob.pe/inicio.php? Testing on my iPhone, I get the desktop site as well.

Actually, yes: Chrome Mobile gets redirect to http://m.onpe.gob.pe/

They're doing detection between mobile and desktop browsers somewhere on the server.

We should recommend to them that they send Firefox OS devices to the mobile site, just like they do for Firefox for Android.

The site tries to send mobile browsers to a separate mobile site, but fails to detect Firefox OS devices as smartphones. For details on how the browser detection works, see this analysis of the HTTP traffic:

Firefox OS is redirected to inicio.php, Firefox for Android and Safari on iPhone are redirected to http://m.onpe.gob.pe

Hopefully finding a single contact will help with all these government subdomain sites.
