Everything to do with using your own website to advertise your rental property. Design, usability, hosting, getting listed on the search engines, optimising your site, pay-per-click, etc, etc.

Mobile-friendly test

Post by French Cricket »

I promise not to become a website bore :lol: but I thought others might be interested in using Google's mobile-friendly test on their sites:

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools ... -friendly/

This is probably old news for most people but since a month ago their new algorithm is penalising non-mobile-friendly sites in searches done on mobile devices, so it becomes ever more important to 'pass' and get that coveted
Awesome! This page is mobile-friendly.

Often. Definitely no mobile friendliness there but it shows how well phones handle desktop only sites. Lots of pinch zooming and scrolling but certainly doable.

Parfait I can cope with. Awesome I can't. The night sky over our house in the depths of darkness is awesome. My website is not, by any measure known to the civilised world, awesome.
If they can translate American into French, why can't they translate it into English.......?

There's a problem with translating American English into English English is 'cos of al' t'dialects (not to be confused with Daleks).

Awesome would be in (use the dialect infliction when saying it out loud):
Welsh - orsum boy-yo
Yorkshire - yup
Dorset - oohoo arr arrsumat
Scots - haw sum wee lad
Brum - uuwe sum
Scouse - Ursom
Geordie - Away Man

Sorry, totally gone off at a tangent :lol:

Geordie?
Where are you from man?
It would be "canny good" in my book or a grudging "alreet pet" as we don't really like to be over enthusiastic.
