PLEASE READ: The Mobile-Friendly Checker can take up to 30 seconds to display the score. This can be due to a number of resources slowing down the crawling of the page. If you do not see a score within 30 seconds, it likely means there is an issue with the page and not the extension.

Google recently announced that:

"Starting April 21, we will be expanding our use of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal"

This means that passing Google's mobile-friendly test will become very important to webmasters. However, Google's own mobile-friendly test currently only tells you if you 'pass' or 'fail' with some recommendations to improve, if you have failed the test.

Get ahead of the curve!

This powerful extension unlocks the data that Google provides when assessing the mobile-friendliness of your page. Now, not only can you see if your page passes the test but you can also see how well it passes, along with the impact of each mobile rule:

Viewport configuration
Font legibility
Use of incompatible plugins
Content size to viewport
Size and proximity of links

This extension also shows you a screenshot of how Googlebot sees the page (just like Google's mobile-friendly test).

The final feature of this extension is a bulk checker, which links to the amazing URLitor.com bulk mobile checker built by Kostas Voudouris. You can check up to 20 URLs using this feature.

User reviews

Doesn't work at all I can't get it to do anything and tested all settings. No results come back at all and there's no instruction for whatever the user is supposed to do. This is a great example of developer's putting out a product that they never really tested in the real world. Something is very broken and they don't seem to understand IT DOESN'T WORK.

no results after 30 seconds and definitely not a website issue. bulk uploads are not great either, you have to enter the exact URL, no TLDs. so if url is secure or has www - have to enter EXACTLY that way

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Mobile-Friendly Checker requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Mobile-Friendly Checker may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
