Mobile-Friendly Test

Check whether a page is usable on mobile screens.

What Mobile-Friendly Test does

With most search traffic now coming from phones, a page that's hard to use on a small screen loses visitors regardless of how good its content is. This tool checks a URL against common mobile-usability factors and reports a score along with the specific issues found.

How to test a page

  1. Enter the full URL of the page you want to test.
  2. Select Run test.
  3. Review the mobile-friendliness score and the list of specific issues detected.

What's being checked

The check looks at mobile-usability signals visible in the page's own HTML and CSS: whether a proper viewport meta tag is set (and configured correctly), whether any CSS disables the browser's text-size adjustment, whether font sizes are set small enough to be hard to read on a phone, and whether a fixed-width element like a wide table would force horizontal scrolling on a narrow screen.

Why this matters for rankings, not just usability

Search engines evaluate pages primarily by how they perform on mobile, since that's how most visitors actually arrive — a page that scores poorly here isn't just harder to use, it's also likely at a disadvantage in mobile search results specifically. Fixing the flagged issues benefits both your visitors and your search visibility together.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Does a good score here guarantee good mobile rankings?

No — mobile usability is one factor among many. A high score removes a usability obstacle, but content quality, backlinks and other factors still matter for ranking.

What's the most common issue found?

A missing or misconfigured viewport meta tag is especially common on older or custom-built pages, and it affects nearly every other mobile rendering issue downstream.

Does this test how the page looks, or just the underlying code?

It checks underlying technical signals in the page's own HTML and CSS — viewport configuration, text-size rules, fixed-width content — rather than rendering a visual screenshot.

Can I test any public URL, not just my own site?

Yes — enter any publicly accessible URL, including a competitor's page, to see how it scores.

How often should I re-test a page?

After any change to the page's layout, theme or template — otherwise occasionally, since mobile usability standards and screen sizes do shift over time.
