The 1980’s Called… and They Want Those Mobile Websites Back!
The traditional approach of creating separate ‘mobile websites’ to account for mobile traffic is becoming obsolete. These sites often come with technical flaws that can harm your online presence. Moreover, neglecting tablets and their users is a missed opportunity.
Responsive design emerges as the modern solution, seamlessly catering to multi-device web browsing within a single website. Notably, Google officially recommends responsive design, underscoring its effectiveness and relevance in today’s digital landscape.
Google Officially Recommends Building Websites With Responsive Design
Google has officially recommended optimizing your website with responsive design. There’s many reasons why Google has decided responsive is superior to a mobile website, and here’s a few of them:
Single URL. Allows Google’s algorithms to assign the indexing properties for the content.
- No redirection. Mobile website’s that use a redirection script are slow to load and generally error prone. This is not a factor when you go responsive.
- Saves resources. You only have to build 1 website to account for all devices and Google only has to crawl your pages once. This can help get more of your website indexed and also help keep it fresh by allowing Google to complete crawls quicker and more frequently.
Is your website built according to Google’s official recommendation? If not, it’s time to go responsive – contact us to find out how.
