Built around where most of your traffic actually is

Does your site work as well on mobile as it does on desktop?

Most visitors are on mobile, but most sites are still designed and tested on desktop first. Paste your URL and find out what that gap is actually costing you.

Why this matters

Mobile isn't a smaller version of your site anymore — for most visitors, it's the only version they ever see

For a large share of businesses, mobile is no longer a secondary experience to be adapted from a 'real' desktop site — it's the primary, and sometimes only, way most visitors ever encounter the business at all. Treating mobile as an afterthought means treating the majority experience as an afterthought.

This is why testing on your own device gives a false sense of security. Your own phone, your own familiar connection, and your own knowledge of how the site is meant to work all hide problems that a genuine first-time visitor, on an unfamiliar device with a slower connection, would hit immediately.

It's also worth naming the specific, repeatable mistakes that account for most mobile problems: layouts that were shrunk rather than genuinely rebuilt for a narrow screen, tap targets sized for a mouse cursor rather than a fingertip, and calls-to-action pushed below the fold by content that was fine on a wider desktop layout.

The three areas below are where mobile experience most commonly breaks down.

Where mobile experience breaks down

The gap between desktop-first design and mobile reality

👆 Tap targets too small or too close
Buttons and links sized for a mouse cursor, not a fingertip, create real friction and mis-taps on the device most visitors are actually using.
📜 Desktop layouts that don't adapt
Multi-column layouts, wide tables, and side-by-side content that were never actually rebuilt for a single narrow column, just shrunk to fit.
🐢 Slower mobile-specific load times
Mobile connections are often slower and less stable than the desktop connection a site was actually tested on — a site that "feels fine" in the office can feel very different on the street.
Common questions

Website Mobile Audit — FAQ

Is testing on my own phone good enough?

Not fully — your own device, connection, and familiarity with the site all hide problems that a genuine first-time visitor, on a different device or slower connection, would encounter immediately.

Does mobile-friendly mean the same as mobile-first?

Not necessarily. 'Mobile-friendly' often means a desktop layout that technically resizes; 'mobile-first' means the experience was actually designed for a narrow screen first, which typically performs better.

Will this check my site on multiple device types?

The audit evaluates structural and content patterns that affect mobile experience broadly, rather than testing every individual device and screen size combination.

How much does mobile experience affect my overall score?

Mobile is one of 10 scored dimensions, evaluated alongside clarity, trust, and conversion — a mobile-optimised site with an unclear message still won't score perfectly on its own.
