Why do you need a website that is optimized for mobile devices?
For about two years now, Google has stipulated that all websites with relevant content must be optimized for mobile devices.
According to the motto mobile first.
It is therefore incredibly important that your website can also be displayed on mobile devices. Unfortunately, this issue is only taken seriously by around 30% of all website operators. Nowadays it is not difficult to design a website so that it is displayed properly on all devices.
Today, 50% of all websites are already accessed on smartphones or tablets. As these figures are set to increase in the coming years, it is all the more important not to lose touch. The best SEO optimization is useless if your website is not optimized for smartphones or other mobile devices.

Mobile First /Mobile Friendly
The information from Google on what is meant by a “mobile friendly” website is as follows:
- There should be no software that is not available on all end devices, e.g. Flash.
- Texts should be displayed legibly without zooming.
- Direct adaptation to the different screens. (cell phone, smartphone, tablet)
- The page size adapts to the device size so that there is no need to scroll or zoom horizontally.
- Links must be far enough apart to be clearly visible and tapable.
At the beginning of 2016, Google once again explicitly confirmed that the focus on mobile devices such as smartphones plays an important role. Google has defined the mobile index as the primary index of the search engine.
