I doubt you have a whole lot of control over this, but this website is misery to use on a phone. Browsing scripts gives you six or ten tiles per page, navigation buttons are only in the header. There are no page numbers or any indication of progress. At a glance, there appears to be no way of filtering or sorting, although there is some arbitrary grouping being applied in the middle of the list. Also the script descriptions only show three lines of text, which is not nearly enough to give a clue to what the script is for.

This is probably the worst implemented list view I've ever seen. Completely useless.

Not sure if we're seeing the same site but this site is better than 90% of the web when accessed via mobile for me. No page number when navigating forward/back through scripts, true, but I doubt you want to go through more than 1 or 2 pages without searching first. Search worked for me and turned up what I wanted on the first hit. Descriptions being 3 lines is pretty much the best it can do with the limited screen space; to improve this I feel you would need dedicated summarized content for mobile, which is a price that most platforms don't want to pay. Your description made me think that this was in the bottom 1% of mobile sites but honestly it's above average.
