Time is up, because Google’s mobile-first world is finally here
Google’s mobile-first algorithm is finally here, so if your site isn’t already prepared, you’re probably too late, writes Orange Line’s David Klein.
With most attention last week focused on Facebook and its mea culpa over the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the wider fall out of just how secure your data is and of course cricket’s ball tampering saga, Google slipped out an announcement which could have a significant impact on indexing and search rankings of websites.
After more than 18 months of testing, Google has announced plans to change its algorithm, switching it to crawl, index and rank mobile sites first, as opposed to using a desktop version as the primary source for indexing.
