You most likely know that Google is now using mobile-friendliness as a significant ranking factor. Websites that are not properly optimized for mobile devices will achieve lower rankings in mobile search results; and this is no small matter, given that mobile internet usage has now overtaken desktop usage.
If you’re still unsure to whether or not your site is mobile-friendly, here are 3 online tests you can use to determine the mobile-friendliness of your site.
1. Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test
Perhaps the simplest and most accurate tool out there, I recommend starting here.
Keep in mind that this tool checks via page, not domain; so just because one page “passes”, doesn’t mean every page on your site will.
The speed at which a page loads is a critical ranking factor. In fact, page speed may be an even more significant ranking factor than mobile-friendliness.
To see how your page fares in terms of speed, usw Google’s PageSpeed Insights tool. It works much the same as the Mobile-Friendly Test, however it provides more detailed instructions as to how to speed up your page. This tool provides two separate scores out of 100: one for speed and one for user-experience. This score is available for both the mobile and desktop versions of your page.
3. mobiReady
mobiReady will appeal to those who are more visually-oriented. It renders how your page displays on various devices.
It also provides a mobiReady score between 1 and 5, as well as a detailed listing of CSS elements and whether each is a pass.
You will also see a benchmark of your site against the top 1000 sites on Alexa.
