Mobile Issues

Mobile checks evaluate how well your page works on mobile devices. Google uses mobile-first indexing, making mobile optimization essential.

6 checks | Focus: Responsive design, touch interfaces, mobile UX
High Responsive Viewport

What it checks: Whether viewport uses width=device-width and doesn't disable zoom.

Why it matters: Proper viewport settings ensure content fits mobile screens and remains accessible.

How to fix:

  • Add: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  • Don't use maximum-scale=1 or user-scalable=no (disables zoom)
High Mobile-Friendly

What it checks: Presence of responsive viewport and CSS media queries.

Why it matters: Mobile-friendliness is a ranking factor. Most web traffic is mobile.

How to fix:

  • Use responsive CSS with media queries
  • Test on multiple device sizes
  • Use flexible grids and images

Medium Importance

Medium Tap Target Size

What it checks: Whether buttons and links are at least 44x44 pixels.

Why it matters: Small tap targets are hard to tap on mobile devices.

How to fix:

  • Make buttons at least 44x44 pixels
  • Add padding to small links
  • Ensure adequate spacing between tap targets
Medium Responsive Images

What it checks: Whether images use srcset for responsive serving.

Why it matters: Serving appropriately sized images saves bandwidth on mobile.

How to fix:

  • Use srcset attribute with multiple image sizes
  • Use sizes attribute to specify display size
  • Alternatively, use CSS max-width: 100%

Low Importance

Low AMP Support

What it checks: Whether an AMP version of the page is available.

Why it matters: AMP pages load very fast on mobile. Optional but beneficial for some sites.

How to fix:

  • Create an AMP version of your page
  • Link to it using: <link rel="amphtml" href="...">
  • Note: AMP is optional and not suitable for all sites
Low Touch Icons

What it checks: Whether Apple touch icon is configured.

Why it matters: Touch icons appear when users add your site to their home screen.

How to fix:

  • Create 180x180px icon
  • Add: <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/apple-touch-icon.png">
