Use of mobile devices has skyrocketed in the past few years. What was once an afterthought is now a necessity. A mobile friendly website is a great first step to transitioning your brand to a mobile-first world. For companies that have made the leap from desktop-only websites to mobile-friendly, the battle isn’t over. Google and other search engines keep raising the bar as to what is considered a mobile-friendly website. Just because your website fits into a modern mobile screen doesn’t mean the website performs well or ranks well on Google using a mobile device.

Google Raises the Bar
Google is now raising the bar when it comes to mobile website performance with mobile-first indexing. Rather than Google sending a bot to read your website using Desktop-only standards, they now simulate how a mobile visitor is going to process and read your website content.
