Mobile-friendliness audit and fix with Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals data

Google now crawls and indexes sites based on their mobile version, and most of your visitors are probably on a phone. Search Console's Mobile Usability report was retired at the end of 2023, so I audit your site with Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights, the Core Web Vitals report and real devices, and fix what gets in the way of phone users. ₪580 one-time.

Why this works

Why this works

Until late 2023, Search Console had a Mobile Usability report alongside the Mobile-Friendly Test tool. Google retired both in December 2023 and pointed site owners to other tools, chiefly Lighthouse in Chrome. Mobile-friendliness still matters to users and to page experience; it is just checked differently now.

In October 2023 Google announced that the move to mobile-first indexing was complete, meaning what Google sees on a phone is what gets indexed. Content that exists only on desktop, or a page that is hard to use on a phone, hurts your visitors first.

My audit combines three sources: Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights on representative pages, the Core Web Vitals report in Search Console for mobile data from real users, and manual checks on several devices to catch what automated tools miss.

Issues mapped by template

A structured list of problems such as text too small, tap targets too close, content wider than the screen and a missing viewport, by template and representative page.

CSS and viewport fixes

Correct viewport setting, readable text size, enough space around buttons and links, and off-screen elements pulled back in.

Tested at several screen widths

After each fix I check common Android and iPhone widths to make sure the fix is consistent and did not break something else.

Following the mobile data

Lighthouse re-run on fixed pages and mobile data tracked in the Core Web Vitals report, which is based on the previous 28 days and updates gradually.

Process

How we work

  1. 1

    Pick representative pages

    One page per template, starting with the pages that get the most mobile traffic.

  2. 2

    Test with tools and devices

    Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights runs, mobile data from the Core Web Vitals report, and checks in Chrome DevTools and on a real device.

  3. 3

    Fix CSS and meta

    Viewport setting, text size, spacing around tap targets and overflowing elements, with a check after every change.

  4. 4

    Re-test

    The same checks re-run on fixed pages, and a summary report of what was fixed and what is worth tackling next.

Common questions

FAQ

Does Search Console still have a Mobile Usability report?

No. Google retired the report and the Mobile-Friendly Test tool in December 2023. Today mobile-friendliness is checked with Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights, with the mobile data in the Core Web Vitals report, and with manual testing on devices. That is exactly what this service does.

What is the difference between mobile-friendly and responsive?

Responsive design is an approach where the same code adapts to every screen size. Mobile-friendly is the result: is the page easy to use on a phone. Responsive is usually the path there, but a responsive site can still be awkward if text is small or buttons are crowded.

How big should tap targets be?

web.dev guidance recommends a tap area of roughly 48 by 48 pixels, with space between neighbouring targets. Targets that are too small or too close cause mis-taps and frustrate visitors, so this is one of the first fixes I make.
