Should I test mobile experience separately?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm overwhelmed by the complexity of ensuring a seamless user experience across different devices. Mobile traffic now represents over 50% of my website visits, but I'm unsure whether I need to conduct dedicated mobile testing or if my current desktop optimization will suffice. I want to understand the critical differences in mobile user behavior, potential conversion barriers, and how to systematically approach mobile experience testing to ensure I'm not losing potential customers due to poor mobile design or functionality.
