Google's Mobile-Friendly Test Tool |
How to get the“mobile-friendly” label from Google.
- Avoid software that is not common on mobile devices, like Flash
- Use text that is readable without zooming
- Size content to the screen so users don't have to scroll horizontally or zoom
- Place links far enough apart so that the correct one can be easily tapped
If you want to make sure that your page meets the mobile-friendly criteria:
- Check your pages with the Mobile-Friendly Test.
- Read Google's updated documentation "Webmasters Mobile Guide" on how to create and improve your mobile site.
- See the Mobile usability report in
Google Search Console, which highlights major mobile usability issues across your entire site, not just one page.
