Kilobytes downloaded per day droped, why?
Roy, Did you optimize images (make them smaller in size)? Is the traffic real? Spam hits will not utilize data like a real person on your site. Also google could be serving cached pages so the information is not as large as downloading your actual assets from your site. Thanks, Don

Does we need to add a canonical tag with the mobile url in each desktop version as a result of mobile first index?
The mobile first index is not live as of today This is from March of this year http://searchengineland.com/googles-mobile-first-index-still-months-away-271851 "Don’t freak out. That’s what Google’s Gary Illyes repeated this week — at least three times — to SEOs and webmasters who might be concerned about the upcoming switch to a mobile-first index. “The team behind the mobile-first index wants it to launch this year,” Illyes told our SMX West conference on Wednesday. “We’re still experimenting. We don’t have a timeline. It could be a few months or quarters, but it’s definitely not weeks [away]. Don’t freak out, especially if you have a responsive site.” Later in June of this year http://searchengineland.com/googles-mobile-first-index-likely-not-coming-2018-earliest-277074 "Google is “probably many quarters away” from launching its mobile-first index. So said Gary Illyes, Google webmaster trends analyst, during a crowded session Tuesday afternoon at our SMX Advanced conference in Seattle. “It’s going to be a big change, but don’t freak out,” Illyes said. SEOs and webmasters have been wondering and waiting for a couple of years now for news on when the mobile-first index will roll out. Illyes wasn’t able to give an exact answer to that question today. “We don’t have a timeline for the launch yet,” Illyes said. “We have some ideas for when this will launch, but it’s probably many quarters away. Our engineers’ timeline was initially end of 2017. Right now, we think more 2018. ” The point I am making here is that you need to follow the current Google guidance as Roman mention so that you can rank now. Yes, you will probably need to tweak things once the mobile first index comes out, but until it does and Google then updates guidance on how you should setup the canonical and alternative tags as suggested. You other option to act on now is to convert to a responsive site, work with one set of URLs and make sure that when your responsive page shows that it passes mobile friendly tests etc. You may end up with a slower page, but you would need to test and see how much of a difference makes. If the page is still fast overall, you should still be good.

No content in the view source, why?
With a very high probability, the website was developed in some JavaScript platform such as Angular JS. This is exactly what you would get as a result since the content is shown after the initial loading. Let me know if you have further questions.

Do I need to remove pages that don't get any traffic from the index?
I would never, ever remove pages unless they are harmful to your brand. With that said, i would suggest optimizating the page for keywords that carry higher traffic volume. With that, make sure this page is niche and discusses the content individually. You will need: -Keywords that have a decent to high amount of search volume (keyword research). and make sure these keywords can obtain a high ranking. -At least 1,000 words, designed in an easy to read format, with your target keywords places in the meta title, description, most of the H Headers and paragraph text. At least a 3% density. -Make sure your images have alt tags with your target keyword and the URL of the page is short, clean, and has your target keyword. Create internal links on your website (with the correct anchor text in the link), that point to the page. Drive it from popular pages like the home, about, or services page. -Find other websites that would be interested in linking to this specific page, preferably websites that have a higher domain authority than yours does. -Lastly, index in Google webmaster tools, crawl with googlebot, index and render the specific page .... and wait. At least 5 weeks and measure traction on Google. Oh yea..cross your fingers and think happy thoughts too.

Can I define that one area of my website is a regualr news (no subscription) and the other part of the website is news that only subscribers can read?
any seo plugin can do that for you, at this point you have 2 options hide the premium content from search engines (BAD IDEA) or optimize all your content for Search engines and redirect the user to a registration area where he/she can sign-up to access de content a good example is thewallstreetjournal
