Mobile-Friendly Checker

Check viewport configuration, responsive meta tags and common mobile usability signals.

Fetching live data…

Quick answer

The Mobile-Friendly Checker is a free tool that inspects a web page for the signals that decide whether it works well on phones. Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning it ranks the mobile version of your page, so a missing viewport tag or a fixed-width layout can directly hurt visibility. The tool reads the page's real, live HTML and reports the key mobile usability signals — no signup, no limits.

How it works

  1. Paste the full URL of the page you want to test (for example https://example.com).
  2. The tool fetches the live page and parses its <head> and markup.
  3. It checks the viewport meta tag, responsive hints and common mobile pitfalls.
  4. You get a clear pass/warn list explaining each signal and how to fix it.

What it checks

  • Viewport meta tag — presence of width=device-width, initial-scale=1.
  • Fixed-width layout — fixed pixel widths that break on small screens.
  • Text scaling — whether user-scalable=no or tiny font sizes block readability.
  • Charset and HTML lang — basic rendering and localization signals.
  • Tap-friendly hints — markup that suggests cramped or oversized elements.
  • HTTPS delivery — secure pages that mobile browsers trust.

Common use cases

  • Theme testing — confirm a new template is responsive before launch.
  • Mobile-first readiness — make sure Google sees a usable mobile page.
  • Landing pages — verify campaign pages convert well on phones.
  • Quick diagnostics — explain why a page feels broken on a small screen.

Example

Run the tool on a homepage and you might see a pass for a correct viewport tag and HTTPS, but a warning that the layout sets a fixed 980px width and disables zoom with user-scalable=no — two changes that would immediately improve the mobile experience.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Mobile-Friendly Checker free?

Yes — completely free, with no signup and no usage limits. Test as many URLs as you like.

Does a viewport tag guarantee mobile-friendliness?

No — it is the essential first step, but true responsiveness also depends on CSS and content width. The tool flags the markup-level signals that most often cause mobile problems.

What else affects mobile rankings?

Speed matters too, so pair this with the Page Speed & Size Test test and the On-Page SEO Audit for the full picture, and read our mobile-first indexing guide to prepare for how Google evaluates your site.
