With so many people reading blogs, as well as books, on their mobile phones nowadays, this is a worthwhile test to carry out 😀

GOOGLE’S MOBILE-FRIENDLY TEST
As of Tuesday, April 21, 2015, mobile search results on Google favor mobile-friendly websites.
Do you want to know if your WordPress (or other) website is mobile-friendly?
Google has a simple test for this:
- Visit Google’s mobile-friendly test at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly.
- Enter the url for your website. For example, mine is www.chrismcmullen.wordpress.com.
- Press the Analyze button. Cross your fingers. Wait patiently for the results.
If Google says, “Awesome! This page is mobile-friendly,” you’re in good shape. Congratulations! You should buy a t-shirt that says, “I survived Mobigeddon!”
Most WordPress blogs are probably mobile-friendly. If you’re using an outdated WordPress theme, that could be an issue. If so, check out this WordPress article.
If your website isn’t mobile-friendly and it’s not due to an outdated WordPress theme, try exploring the resources on Google’s mobile-friendly test page.

WordPress makes it easy to test to see if your page works on all devices. But the best way of testing is to actually have a range of devices. We have two laptops, three different tablets, two Samsung S5 phones with Android and a large flat screen TV with Internet. My sites all work on all these devices. But this is good information and something not everyone thinks about.
