Quick answer

Google uses the mobile version of your site for indexing and ranking, so whatever is missing or broken on mobile is effectively missing for search. For a Bangladeshi audience browsing mostly on phones and mobile data, a mobile-first site should show the same content as desktop, load light and be easy to tap.

Content parity

  • The same main text, headings and images on mobile as on desktop.
  • Structured data and meta tags present on the mobile version.
  • Content in tabs or accordions is fine if it is in the page, not loaded only after a tap from a server.

Layout and usability

  • Responsive design with a viewport meta tag.
  • Readable text without zooming.
  • Buttons and links large enough and spaced for thumbs.
  • No pop-ups covering the main content on arrival.
  • Phone numbers as tap-to-call links; WhatsApp links where you use it.

Speed on mobile data

  • Compress images and use WebP (image SEO).
  • Limit heavy sliders, autoplay videos and extra scripts.
  • Check field data in PageSpeed Insights and Search Console's Core Web Vitals report.
  • More in the mobile speed guide.

Quick self-test

  1. Open your key pages on an ordinary phone over mobile data.
  2. Try to find your price, phone and address within a few seconds.
  3. Submit a contact form start to finish.
  4. Fix anything that felt slow or confusing first.

Frequently asked

Does Google still crawl the desktop version?

Google primarily uses the mobile version for indexing and ranking. Content only on desktop may not be considered.

Is a separate mobile site (m.) okay?

It can work, but a single responsive site is simpler to maintain and is what Google recommends for most sites.

Is hiding content in accordions bad?

No, as long as the content is in the page's HTML on mobile.
