Free mobile-friendly test: check any website in a minute
Google retired its own Mobile-Friendly Test in December 2023. Enter a page address to check its viewport, zoom, images, scripts and forms, plus a Google PageSpeed Insights mobile run. Free, with no sign-up.
What the test looks at
The mobile problems that quietly cost you enquiries
Each check is something a visitor feels on their phone, with the fix your developer needs written underneath.
- Speed
- Accessibility
- Enquiries
A code test can't tap your menus. Follow up with our mobile-first design checklist on a real iPhone and Android phone.
- Enquiries
The page fits the phone
Without a viewport tag, phones render a shrunken desktop page and visitors pinch and scroll sideways to read it.
The fix<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"> - Accessibility
Visitors can zoom in
Blocking pinch-to-zoom locks out anyone who needs larger text, and fails WCAG 1.4.4.
The fixRemove user-scalable=no and maximum-scale=1 - Speed
Nothing jumps while loading
Images without dimensions push the text down as they arrive, so visitors tap the wrong thing.
The fixGive every <img> a width and height - Speed
Something appears fast
Scripts in the <head> make phones download and run code before they show a single word.
The fixAdd async or defer to <script> tags - Enquiries
Forms are easy to fill in
A plain text box for email or phone brings up the full keyboard, and every extra tap loses people.
The fixtype="email" and type="tel" - Enquiries
One tap to call you
For service businesses, a phone number visitors have to copy is an enquiry that never happens.
The fix<a href="tel:+15550100">
Mobile test FAQ
Common questions.
Does Google still have a Mobile-Friendly Test?+
No. Google retired its Mobile-Friendly Test tool and the Mobile Usability report in Search Console in December 2023. Google now points site owners to Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights. This free test combines a PageSpeed Insights mobile run with checks of the page's HTML, such as the viewport, zoom and form fields.
What does this mobile-friendly test check?+
It loads the page as an Android phone and checks the viewport tag, whether pinch-to-zoom is allowed, HTTPS, image dimensions and lazy loading, render-blocking scripts, HTML size, email and phone input types, tap-to-call links, browser plugins, and the title and meta description. It also runs Google PageSpeed Insights on mobile for performance and Core Web Vitals.
Is a high score a guarantee of good rankings?+
No. Mobile usability and Core Web Vitals are part of how Google evaluates pages, but relevance and content quality matter far more. A good score means the page will not lose visitors to avoidable mobile problems.
Why does my score differ from PageSpeed Insights?+
The main score here covers mobile usability checks in the HTML. The PageSpeed Insights figure is shown separately and measures speed. Lab results also vary between runs by a few points because of network and server conditions.
Can this replace testing on a real phone?+
No. It reads the page's code, so it cannot see things like overlapping elements, menus that are hard to tap, or text that is too small after rendering. Use it to catch the common problems, then follow our mobile-first checklist on a real iPhone and Android device.
