Question 1

Why is mobile friendliness important for SEO?

Accepted Answer

Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning it primarily uses the mobile version of your content for indexing and ranking. A mobile-unfriendly site will rank lower in search results.

Question 2

What is the viewport meta tag?

Accepted Answer

The viewport meta tag tells browsers how to control the page's dimensions and scaling on mobile devices. Without it, your page appears zoomed out on mobile screens.

Question 3

Should I disable pinch-to-zoom?

Accepted Answer

No. Disabling zoom (user-scalable=no or maximum-scale=1) is a WCAG accessibility violation. Users with low vision need to zoom in to read content.

Question 4

What is srcset for images?

Accepted Answer

The srcset attribute lets you specify multiple image sizes. The browser picks the best one for the device's screen size and resolution, saving bandwidth on mobile.
