In this day and age, it is remarkable that mobile browsing is still such a painful, inconsistent experience. It’s 2014, yet still we have to settle for poorly optimised, limited, or flat-out broken mobile sites. How many times can you recall when you’ve needed to access a webpage in your mobile browser, only for it to detect that you’re not on desktop and chuck you back to the mobile homepage (or even worse, the desktop homepage).
We wish we were bringing you news that this is a thing of the past. Unfortunately, it’s not – but at least now you’ll know what’s going to happen before it does. That’s because Google has implemented a new feature to its mobile search engine which notifies you that a mobile link might well be faulty before you tap on it. It ain’t perfect, but it’s a start.
On the other side of things, if you’re one of the guilty parties responsible for maintaining a crappy mobile site Google will notify you of the problem users are experiencing. They’ll send you a message when it detects a page on your site has a faulty mobile redirect (or if you’re lucky it might be your entire domain).
