      Hi All,

      I have noticed that Google are not displaying a mobile friendly tag next to our website (www.wombatwebdesign.com). We made it responsive over a year ago and it is running on Joomla 3.X, as recommended by Google.

      I have run it through google checking tool and it confirms it is mobile friendly. So why no mobile friendly tag?

      Any ideas gratefully received.

      Thanks

      Fraser

          I was aware that the mobile icon was being tested and was resently confirmed to be rolling out. As such and as per Leonie, you may have not seen it in your browser as only the odd test saw it. Going forward this will likely be visible to all.

          A bit more can be seen in these posts.
