There is no guarantee that because your homepage scores passes either test, all other pages will pass. Or if the homepage fails, all other pages will also. This is a common misconception about many web testing tools.<\/li>\n<li>At the least, you need to be sure that each key landing page \u2013 as this will effect search results \u2013 and every critical page on the <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickz.com\/2016\/05\/05\/journey-into-the-unknown-with-the-mobile-customer-journey\">user journey<\/a><\/u>\u00a0\u2013 because this will effect conversion.<\/li>\n<li>Web developer <u><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rgaineswebdevelopment.com\/\">Robert Gaines<\/a><\/u>\u00a0recommends testing each new template: page template, category template, product template.<\/li>\n<li>Tools such as SEMrush and Google Mobile Usability Report will assist in identifying problem pages (see below) \u2013 so you don\u2019t have to physically test each page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2. 100% mobile-friendly (according to Google) means great mobile usability \u2013 NO.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The mobile-friendly test considers if a) the content fits the screen (viewport); b) the text is correctly sized; c) buttons\/links are correctly sized, spaced and easy to tap; d) there is no Flash content; there are no interstitial ads (typified by those irritating, but difficult to avoid \u201cDownload our app\u201d ads).<\/li>\n<li>Mobile-friendly does not test for a) how fast the page loads; b) if it loads properly; c) how quickly you can move from one page to another; d) how large the images are or d) how much data the download consumes. This is where performance testing comes in with tools such as Google PageSpeed or developer tools such as WebPagetest (see below).<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s common for sites to pass the mobile-friendly test, but score less well on Google PageSpeed Insights (as witnessed by <u><a href=\"https:\/\/searchenginewatch.com\/2016\/06\/03\/google-launches-tool-to-test-your-sites-mobile-friendliness-and-speed\/\">this test<\/a><\/u>\u00a0on ClickZ sister site Search Engine Watch).<\/li>\n<li>Mobile-friendly does not test for visual problems \u2013 tools such Mobilizer can help (see below); unintuitive design; unintelligible navigation; broken links etc. No automated tool is an alternative to proper <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickz.com\/2016\/04\/07\/why-user-testing-should-be-at-the-forefront-of-mobile-development\">user testing<\/a><\/u>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Take a look at the following image.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This shows two test results (June 8, 2016) for two pages in The Webby Awards website.

N.B. This is just for illustrative purposes.<\/li>\n<li>The results for the Webbyawards.com homepage demonstrate that webpages can score well (100%) for mobile friendliness; but poorly for mobile speed (64%).<\/li>\n<li>The results for the categories page illustrates that different pages in a site can achieve very different scores from the homepage: i.e. mobile friendly: 58% v 100% and page speed: 16% v 62%.<\/li>\n<li>The issue with the categories page was highlighted by a search on mobile-unfriendly pages using SEMrush (see below).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/06\/testmysite_webby_categories_cz22.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-101376\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-101376\" src=\"http:\/\/fixmyinfo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/testmysite_webby_categories_cz22.jpg\" alt=\"testmysite_webby_categories_cz22\" width=\"615\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>We know mobile-friendliness effects search results, but what about webpage performance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These investigations in the <a href=\"https:\/\/searchenginewatch.com\/2016\/03\/10\/the-winners-and-losers-of-mobilegeddon-in-the-usa\/\"><u>US<\/u> <\/a>and <u><a href=\"https:\/\/searchenginewatch.com\/2016\/03\/03\/the-winners-and-losers-of-mobilegeddon-in-the-uk\/\">Europe<\/a><\/u>\u00a0by Sistrix for Search Engine Watch have shown how Google\u2019s mobile-friendly algorithm has begun to seriously impact websites\u2019 mobile search results.<\/p>\n<p>The interesting thing about the US research was the observance that many firms had made their homepage mobile-friendly and maybe some other pages. This may stem from the misconception stated above. But the results are a stark: not being mobile-friendly site-wide impacts mobile search visibility.<\/p>\n<p>It would be great to see similar studies on the impact of webpage performance on mobile search results.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Reasons you should take mobile web performance as seriously as mobile-friendliness:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Page speed has been a factor in search rankings for much longer than mobile-friendliness \u2013 see this <u><a href=\"https:\/\/webmasters.googleblog.com\/2010\/04\/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html\">Google post<\/a><\/u>\u00a0from 2010.<\/li>\n<li>Mobile page speed is clearly on the agenda at Google.

Unfortunately, none of Google\u2019s scary stats are sourced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to test<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>The best place to start is with a tool that tests your entire site<\/strong>.
