How to use the mobile checklist
- Open your website on your phone, ideally a mid-range Android.
- Turn off Wi-Fi to test on mobile data.
- Go through each check on your most important pages: home, services and contact.
- Tick what passes and list the rest for your developer.
Why mobile matters so much
Google uses the mobile version of your site for indexing and ranking, known as mobile-first indexing. In India, most people browse and search on phones, so a site that is hard to use on mobile loses both rankings and enquiries. Google retired its standalone Mobile-Friendly Test, so checking by hand and with PageSpeed Insights is now the practical approach.
Common mobile problems on page builders
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Huge headings that wrap badly | Set smaller mobile font sizes |
| Wide sections cause sideways scroll | Check negative margins and fixed widths |
| Hidden content on mobile | Keep important content visible |
| Heavy sliders | Replace with one static hero |
Check speed with the Core Web Vitals checker, test layouts with the responsive design checker, and add a WhatsApp button with the WhatsApp link generator.
