The new feature shows mobile usability issues we\u2019ve identified across your website, complete with graphs over time so that you see the progress that you’ve made. <\/p>\n
A mobile-friendly site is one that you can easily read & use on a smartphone, by only having to scroll up or down. Swiping left\/right to search for content, zooming to read text and use UI elements, or not being able to see the content at all make a site harder to use for users on mobile phones. To help, the Mobile Usability reports show the following issues: Flash content, missing viewport<\/a> (a critical meta-tag for mobile pages), tiny fonts<\/a>, fixed-width viewports, content not sized to viewport<\/a>, and clickable links\/buttons too close<\/a> to each other. <\/p>\n We strongly recommend you take a look at these issues in Webmaster Tools, and think about how they might be resolved; sometimes it’s just a matter of tweaking your site’s template! More information on how to make a great mobile-friendly website can be found in our Web Fundamentals<\/a> website (with more information to come soon).<\/p>\n If you have any questions, feel free to join us in our webmaster help forums<\/a> (on your phone too)!<\/p>\n Posted by John Mueller<\/a>, Webmaster Trends Analyst, Zurich<\/span><\/p>\n Webmaster Level: intermediate<\/p>\n Mobile is growing at a fantastic pace – in usage, not just in screen size.
