Yes, eValid can (a) be disguised to appear to the web server as a mobile device and then, (b) run a site analysis scan of all of the pages that are on the website while continuing to appear as a field instance of the mobile device. For the first part you probably will want to launch eValid with a batch file that specifies the particular user agent string you wish to use.

It's important to remember that in most cases a web site that delivers pages to a mobile device sends down an abbreviated form of the website -- one that is optimized for viewing on the mobile device. This means that (i) the pages will be downloaded much faster (they have less content), and (ii) the total number of pages is likely to be a fraction of the size of the full website.

The time measurements made by eValid as the HTML is downloaded are very accurate. The time a small page takes to render (that is, to be processed by the browser's HTML scanner and be converted into the document object model ready to be shown to the user) is very small -- so small that you very rarely even can measure this time value. By comparison the download time for a page, even on a fast internet connection, usually is much larger than any CPU time used to display the analyzed page.

But it is important to note that broken links and slow pages are still broken and slow when viewed from the perspective of a mobile device.
