Mobile Optimization
Mobile optimization is the act of ensuring that visitors to your site who access it via mobile devices receive an experience that is optimized for the device.
What is Mobile Optimization?
People spend more time on their mobile devices and tablets every year,
yet many websites are still not designed to cater to varied screen sizes and load speeds.
Mobile optimization considers site design, site structure, page performance, and other factors to ensure that you are not accidentally turning away mobile users.
Mobile SEO Best Practices
If your site is already highly optimized for search engines, there are only a few things to consider when optimizing for mobile devices and Google’s transition to mobile-first indexing.
Page speed
Page performance is much more essential for mobile users than for desktop users due to hardware and connection difficulties.
Aside from optimizing pictures, you should also minify code, use browser caching, and decrease redirects.

Don’t block CSS, JavaScript, or images
Some mobile devices couldn’t handle all of these components in the past, therefore webmasters of mobile sites banned one or all three.
But, for the most part,
that is no longer the case, thanks to the Smartphone.
GoogleBot wishes to be able to observe and categorize the same stuff as humans.
So don’t try to conceal it.
These characteristics are also important in determining if you have a responsive site or a separate mobile solution.
Site design for mobile
Mobile devices are simplifying and changing the design of websites.
“Above the fold” has lost its significance in a world where we may scroll indefinitely.
Don’t use Flash
If the plugin isn’t available on your user’s phones, they’ll lose out on all the excitement.
Use HTML5 instead if you want to create fancy effects.
Don’t use pop-ups either
Trying to close them on a mobile device can be difficult and annoying.
This might result in a high bounce rate.
Design for the fat finger
Touch screen navigation can result in unintentional clicks if your buttons are too large, too tiny, or in the path of a finger attempting to scroll the page.
Optimize titles and meta descriptions
When a user searches on a mobile device, keep in mind that you have less screen area to deal with.
When writing titles,
URLs, and meta descriptions, be as succinct as feasible (without losing the quality of the content) to show off your finest work in SERPS.
Optimize for local search
Remember to optimize your mobile content for local search if your firm has a local component.
This involves standardizing your name, address, and phone number, as well as adding your city and state name in the metadata of your website.
