Mobile Friendly Test
Test mobile friendliness
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I test if my website is mobile-friendly?
Enter your URL. The tool loads the page in a mobile viewport and checks: responsive design, touch target sizes, font readability, viewport meta tag, content width, and mobile usability issues. Results include a mobile screenshot and specific recommendations.
Why is mobile-friendliness important for SEO?
Google uses mobile-first indexing: it primarily uses the mobile version of your site for ranking. Non-mobile-friendly sites rank lower in mobile search results. Over 60% of web traffic is mobile. The test identifies issues that affect your mobile search rankings.
What makes a website mobile-friendly?
Responsive design (adapts to screen size). Readable text without zooming (16px+ base font). Adequate tap target spacing (48px+ buttons). No horizontal scrolling. Fast loading on mobile networks. Proper viewport meta tag. The test checks all these criteria.
What is the viewport meta tag?
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">. This tells mobile browsers to set the viewport width to the device width. Without it, mobile browsers render the page at desktop width (typically 980px) and zoom out.
How do I fix common mobile usability issues?
Text too small: set base font to 16px+. Clickable elements too close: add padding/margin (48px minimum). Content wider than screen: use max-width: 100% on images and containers. Viewport not set: add the viewport meta tag. The test provides specific fix instructions.
