Mobile-friendly

My portfolio website at www.robertlevison.co.uk passes Google's mobile-friendly website test. Yay!


"Mobile friendliness" will affect how prominently websites appear in Google search results pages from 21 April 2015.

A page is eligible for the “mobile-friendly” label if it meets the following criteria as detected by Googlebot:
  • Avoids software that is not common on mobile devices, like Flash
  • Uses text that is readable without zooming
  • Sizes content to the screen so users don't have to scroll horizontally or zoom
  • Places links far enough apart so that the correct one can be easily tapped
Google provides a Mobile Friendly Test developer tool so you can see if your website is mobile-friendly.
