To use the "HOW RESPONSIVE IS YOUR WEBSITE" FEATURE below, copy the URL you want to test from the address bar and paste it into the 'Enter your site' field top left of the responsinator.com webpage.
Why are mobile-specific websites so much better? One reason is that they are specifically designed for handheld devices operating over 3G/4G, coded to be light on a customer’s data plan whilst optimising download speed. Mobile devices also differ radically from PCs in available memory and the way they are navigated.
The latest generation of mobile browsers are capable of handling new web technologies like CSS Mobile and XHTML Mobile, so your mobile site can be just as engaging as your desktop version. Google appreciates a well-made mobile site just as much as your customers do, ranking mobile-optimised websites higher when searched from mobile devices. You are also at an advantage by prioritising local search results via device GPS.
