Mobile-Friendly Test — the Free Replacement for Google's Retired Tool

Google shut down its Mobile-Friendly Test in December 2023. This one does the job it did — and runs Google's own Lighthouse mobile score on top. Paste a URL, see it on a phone, get the pass/fail list.

Enter your website URL to preview on different devices

⚡ Speed results are measured by Google's own engine (PageSpeed / Lighthouse) — the exact same test Google uses.

If the screen stays blank, that site blocks embedded previews (a security setting) — the size test and audit below still apply.

⚠️ Preview blank? Some sites block live previews for security — that does not mean your site is broken. Use the free expert audit below and we'll check it on real devices for you. 👇

💡 Why Mobile Matters in Jamaica

Over 70% of Jamaicans browse the internet on their phones. If your website doesn't work well on mobile, you're losing more than half your potential customers. Google also ranks mobile-friendly sites higher in search results.

📲 How to Check a Website on Mobile (3 Quick Ways)

1. The real-phone test. Open your site on your own phone. Can you read everything without zooming? Can you tap buttons easily with a thumb? Does it load in under 3 seconds on data? That's the fastest mobile website check there is.

2. The browser test. On a computer, press F12 in Chrome and click the phone icon (device toolbar) to preview your website on different mobile screen sizes — iPhone, Samsung, tablets.

3. The checklist test. Use the free scoring checklist above. It walks you through the exact things Google checks when deciding if your site is mobile-friendly.

🔧 Failed the Check? The Most Common Mobile Fixes

Text too small / zooming required — your site is missing a responsive viewport. It needs a mobile-first redesign, not a patch.

Buttons too close together — tap targets should be at least 44px. Frustrated thumbs leave.

Slow loading on data — oversized images are the usual culprit. Compress them and your mobile speed jumps.

Content wider than the screen — fixed-width layouts from older websites break on phones. If your site was built more than 4–5 years ago, this is likely you.

❓ Mobile Website Checker — FAQ

How do I check if my website is mobile-friendly?

Open it on a real phone and use the free checklist above: readable text without zooming, easy-to-tap buttons, fast loading, and no sideways scrolling. If any of those fail, your site isn't mobile-friendly.

Is this mobile website check really free?

Yes — the self-check is completely free, and you can also request a free expert audit below where we test your site on real devices and tell you exactly what to fix.

Why does mobile matter so much?

Most web traffic — and in Jamaica over 70% — comes from phones, and Google ranks mobile-friendly sites higher. A site that fails on mobile loses both customers and search positions.

What Google still checks (the five pass/fail rules)

The tool is gone; the rules are not. A page is mobile-friendly when:

Speed is judged separately through Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS). The score panel above runs Lighthouse for that.

How to run the test

  1. Paste the page URL above and press Test Site.
  2. Look at the phone preview: scroll — is there sideways movement? Can you read the text? Can you tap the menu?
  3. Read the Google score and the Core Web Vitals; anything red is what slows the page on real phones.
  4. Fix in this order: viewport → text size → tap targets → images → scripts. Retest.

Testing a site you don't control (a supplier, a competitor)? The preview works on any public URL.

Where the old Google tool went

Google retired the Mobile-Friendly Test and the Mobile Usability report because mobile-first indexing made them redundant: your mobile page is the page Google indexes. What replaced them is Lighthouse (in PageSpeed Insights and Chrome DevTools) and the Core Web Vitals report in Search Console. This page wraps the same Lighthouse engine so you get one answer without opening three tools.

Mobile-friendly vs mobile-fast

A site can pass every rule above and still lose customers because it takes six seconds to load on a Digicel or Flow connection. Treat the pass/fail list as the floor and the speed score as the goal — under 2.5 seconds LCP on mobile.

Frequently asked questions

Is Google's Mobile-Friendly Test still available?

No — Google retired the Mobile-Friendly Test tool and the Search Console Mobile Usability report in December 2023. Mobile-friendliness is now judged through Lighthouse/PageSpeed Insights and Core Web Vitals, which is what this test runs.

What does a mobile-friendly test check?

That the page uses a mobile viewport, text is readable without zooming (16px+), tap targets are big enough and spaced out (about 48px), content does not overflow the screen width horizontally, and there are no intrusive interstitials. Plus speed, which Google measures separately.

Is this test free?

Yes — no sign-up, unlimited tests. The optional expert audit is also free.

My site fails — what do I fix first?

Viewport tag first (it fixes most zoom and width problems), then text size, then tap targets, then images and scripts that slow the page.

Does mobile-friendliness affect rankings?

Yes — Google indexes the mobile version of your site (mobile-first indexing), and Core Web Vitals are a ranking signal.
