Google says - Your page is not mobile friendly. Google Mobile Friendly Test: https://search.google.com/test/mobile...

Why this happens ?
When you see this error it can mean 2 things –

1- Your website actually is’t mobile friendly, and you should make sure you take necessary steps to make it mobile compatible.

Like on wordpress you can use a different theme to solve it or on a static HTML site improving CSS and using Media queries like in example below to style your site better.

@media only screen and (max-width:620px) {

/* For mobile phones: */
.menu, .main, .right {
width: 100%;
}
}

Here is a tool - https://mrvirk.com/percentage-calcula... that I have built using pure HTML, CSS and JavaScript that is mobile compatible, you can check it’s code for guidance

2- If you are seeing this issue on a mobile friendly website, step below will help solve that. To this error your website doesn’t necessarily have to unresponsive, this issue can be seen due to other reasons like google bot being unable to read all the files on the page.

Which can happen due to a very restrictive robots.txt file, blocking access to Google bot, for certain directories and files of your website.

Which meaning, google can’t see your website properly when it scans it. Thats why it complains.

Performing Google Mobile-Friendly Tests and Solving the issue
Upon taking the Google Mobile-Friendly Test for the first time these are my results –

Where google doesn’t like the page and says it’s mobile friendly and on the right hand side it shows a preview of how it see the website, and we can see it is’t being able to render the page well, cause in reality my page is mobile compatible.

And if I dig a bit more into it, I can see google is partially loading and seeing the page which can be a problem for my SEO and search rankings.

And with a little more digging, we can see all the files blocked by robots file and many of them are core CSS files of the website.

Loosening the grip on Robots file
Let’s loosen the restrictive nature of the file to allow css files readability by google bot to solve the issue.
