Mobile Test and Simulator to Install on Own Site

Creativegirl · 18th Apr 2012, 09:57 AM

Anyone know of a reliable simulator to install on our websites that site visitors can use to see if their website is mobile friendly? Have used a couple on other sites but rather than give them leads I'd like to find one to install on our own sites.

I've seen the simulators where you enter the "mobile" domain. But that's only 1/2 the solution and doesn't work for WP sites that aren't on a sub-domain.

Most simulators will not detect if the website has a mobile one as they are browsers in a an Iframe and mainly used to give a sample of what a customers mobile website will look like.

Most of us use an emulator that runs on our computer like Mobalizer Mobilizer | Springbox and it will detect redirection script.

I am not sure if you can get a simulator to do this and with WP you can have a simulator however cannot use the GET function without doing some pretty heavy programming.

This is what I use on my wordpress site. If you type in a url it will redirect you to the mobile version.

Ya it is pretty cool but cost about $10 a month to embed. It is a little costly but if it helps me sell one mobile site in a year it is worth it.
