Check your website the way a phone sees it
We fetch your homepage once, with a phone's user agent, and score what comes back. No account, no email, and nothing is stored.
One request, from a phone's user agent, over mobile-shaped conditions. A site that refuses our request renders fine for a person, and we say so rather than marking it broken.
What we look at
The 4 things we look at
Each one is a fault an owner recognises, and each one is cheap to fix once somebody names it.
- It loads at all
- A lapsed domain or a host that stopped answering. Nothing tells you when this happens, and it is commoner than owners expect.
- It is encrypted
- A site served over plain HTTP is marked Not Secure in every current browser, before a word of it is read. A certificate is free from any host.
- It fits a phone
- One missing line of HTML, the viewport tag, and a phone lays the page out for a desktop and shrinks it. Google has indexed mobile-first since 2019.
- It arrives fast
- Time to the page itself, on mobile data rather than office broadband. Past about 3 seconds you lose a real share of visitors before anything renders.
Questions
Questions we get asked
Not as a standalone tool. Google retired it in December 2023. The same checks live inside Search Console now, and mobile rendering has been the basis of the index since 2019.
We fetch your homepage once and score what comes back. Nothing is stored, no account is made, and we do not email you. The page you are reading is the whole product.
No. A 401, 403 or 429 means a firewall declined our request, and the page renders perfectly well for a person. We say so rather than marking it broken, because scoring it would put a false claim about your business on a screen.
Nothing. Rebuilding something that already works is not a service, and we will tell you that rather than sell you a replacement.
Tell us about the work.
6 questions, your photos, where to send it. About 5 minutes, talking or typing. No call, no card, nothing to sign.
What do you do, and who for?
Example: I am a plumber. Mostly emergency callouts for homeowners, some landlords.
We write it up at our end. You never have to.
