Test your Website Mobile-friendliness & page speed in one Place - Google

In a bid to test your website’s mobile-friendliness and page speed for desktop and mobile under one roof,Google has introduced a new tool/ landing page. It is intended for small businesses to test their sites,instead of going to a specific mobile-friendly testing tool and/or page speed testing tool. It was revealed via a blog post on ‘Google Small Business Blog’.

The new tool, available over here, will test this all at the same time. The unique aspects of this tool are:

1. Get all three scores on one page.
2. Google will email you a more comprehensive report for you to share with your web Team.
3. Google will now give you a 0 out of a 100 score for how mobile-friendly your website is, as opposed to if it is mobile-friendly or not.

Here is what the scores say:

• Mobile-friendliness: This is the quality of the experience customers have when they’re browsing your site on their phones. To be mobile-friendly, your site should have tappable buttons, be easy to navigate from a small screen and have the most important information up front and centre.
• Mobile speed: This is how long it takes your site to load on mobile devices. If customers are kept waiting for too long, they’ll move on to the next site.
• Desktop speed: This is how long it takes your site to load on desktop computers. It’s not just the strength of your customers’ web connection that determines speed, but also the elements of your website.

Here is a screen shot of the report of one of the this site:

You can see it is a pretty overview, much better than the more webmaster/developer-focused options Google has given us in the past. As you scroll down, you get more details on how to make your site more mobile-friendly or faster on desktop or mobile browsers.
