Are your sites Mobile Friendly?

14 years ago

awesome. Thanks for this for this.
I had no idea w3c offered this.

I have a friend online who bought the latest iphone 4. He recorded video and uploaded it to youtube as a test,complete with transition effects and subititles. Quality was amazing.

Perhaps there are people out there wanting to download videos on their phones. ?

Thanks

Thanks for the good info ...

Actually my analytics program Long Tail Magic tracks how many visitors are using mobile devices (iphone, android, ipad, etc). I'll implement w3c validation link so the users can verify their sites as well.

Cheers

Thanks

I am new to this mobile marketing craze and wondered if
any of my sites would pass the Mobile Friendly test.

According to this online Mobile OK Checker
I failed miserably on all sites tested.

Here's the link if interested.

W3C mobileOK Checker

I can't imagine anyone buying and downloading digital
products like video tutorials from an iphone etc.
So I am not ready to redo all my sites anytime soon.

I know, someone is going to chime in and tell me I'm
missing the whole point to Mobile Marketing.

Thanks for the link. I tested a couple of my Wordpress blogs, and they all failed miserably. With that said, how do you make a Wordpress blog more mobile friendly? And is it worth it?

Thanks,
Gordon

There are some good plugins and themes for mobile that detect browser and then load the mobile theme automatically. I remember Martin Maybruck showed me something that worked very well. So yeah check WP Plugins and themes and you'll find some good stuff there.

With that said, how do you make a Wordpress blog more mobile friendly?

One tip I have learned:

Be sure to add the "alt attribute"
which is an alternate text displayed when an Image
is too big or the user turns off images of to save download time.

But then what's the point of using a brand new iPhone
to surf the web if one constantly has to turn off images? LOL
