Google rendering mobile to the right
-
So the website is displaying correctly in mobile devices and online tools. However, when using Google Page Speed Insights mobile or fetch as mobile in Search Console the page always loads as if it has moved 50% of the screen to the right - so whitespace on the left then 50% of the page in on the right side.
I've been ignoring this. The site loads fine in devices and i've put it down to a glitch in Google, but at the same time it's been bugging me. Has anyone else seen this and should I ignore?

Hi Michael,
I use http://quirktools.com/screenfly/ If you look good there on the different devices, you are good imo. I also regularly check GA to see how the different devices score.
Good luck! Regards,
Tymen

Hi Michael,
Have you figured out what the problem is? I'd suggest that you check it out using the Google Mobile-Friendliness Testing Tool (https://www.google.co.uk/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/) - if it passes that test and looks alright on actual devices, I wouldn't worry too much about it as it means Google should give you credit for being mobile-optimized.
I think the other advice already given here is good as well.

This is the thing, it passes as mobile friendly but the screenshot shows the page 80% to the right. All physical devices tested load the page ok. My worry is that googlebot may not favour the page if this is it's perception of a true view.
