        Hello Anirban,

        What is the website? Is the mobile site on a subdomain, separate TLD, within a sub-directory, responsive on the same URLs... ?

          http://goo.gl/gaNwDD, it is responsive design, dynamic serving.

            Hello Anirban,

            I'm going to list a few resources below related to mobile site SEO and testing. However, I think your problem may have to do with the fact that your home page 302 (temporary) redirects to /NRI-Real-Estate.htm, which then has a Rel Canonical tag pointing to the / home page. Basically, this acts like an infinite redirect loop.

            To see this for yourself use one of these HTTP status checkers:

            https://httpstatus.io/
            http://tools.seobook.com/server-header-checker/

            My recommendation would be to use / as your home page. Keep the Rel Canonical tag the same, and 301 redirect the / page to /NRI-Real-Estate.htm.

            Now for mobile... I noticed the HTTP header of the home page returns Vary: Accept-Encoding. This works for responsive design, but if you are truly doing "Dynamic Serving" you'll want to use Vary: User-Agent as discussed here.

            For testing the design to see if it is being adjusted for mobile users I like to use my iPhone and iPad, as well as these emulators:

            http://mobiletest.me/
            http://www.mobilephoneemulator.com/
            Or the one included in Chrome Developers Tools.

              Interestingly, I was able to access your home page without the redirect several times as well. Maybe they're running some kind of A:B testing? If so, that's not the way I would suggest going about it.

              • How long will old pages stay in Google's cache index. We have a new site that is two months old but we are seeing old pages even though we used 301 redirects.
