Mobile Friendly Test

Check whether a page works smoothly on phones and tablets.

What does mobile friendly mean today?

A mobile friendly page sets a proper viewport, uses readable font sizes, keeps tap targets large enough for thumbs, fits its content within the viewport width, and serves over HTTPS. Google uses these checks as the foundation for mobile usability and ranking on phones.

Why does mobile usability matter so much?

Most search traffic now comes from phones. Google indexes the mobile version of your site by default. A page that fails mobile usability checks gets demoted in mobile rankings and frustrates real visitors with tiny text and overlapping buttons.

How do you use this tool?

  1. Paste any URL.
  2. Click Test mobile friendliness.
  3. The tool returns the most important mobile audits Lighthouse runs, with a clear pass or fail verdict for each.

When should you test on a real phone too?

Always test the page on at least one real phone before launch. Lighthouse simulates a mid range device but real fingers, real network conditions, and real screen sizes catch issues automated tests miss.

Got more questions?

What is the right viewport meta tag?
Use width equals device width, initial scale equals one. Anything else is asking for trouble on phones.
How big should tap targets be?
At least forty eight pixels in any direction with eight pixels of spacing around them. Anything smaller is hard to hit accurately.
Is responsive design enough for mobile SEO?
Responsive design is the foundation. You also need fast loading, no intrusive interstitials, and tap targets that respect mobile users.
Will failing one check tank my rankings?
Not by itself. Mobile usability problems compound, so fix the easy wins first like viewport, font size, and tap targets.
