In April, Google began showing a warning label in the search results to the owner of the web site if their pages were not mobile friendly. So if you were a verified Search Console user for a site and a page showed up in the search results and that page was not mobile friendly, Google would add a label for you in the snippet that reads “your page is not mobile-friendly.”
But recently, that label has been wrong for many pages.
I noticed it yesterday when I published the on the Nonsecure Collection Of Passwords In Chrome notice. In Google it shows me that the page is not mobile friendly – but it is.
Here is the screen shot from the search results – they still show as not mobile friendly to me this morning:
But the mobile friendly testing tool shows it as mobile friendly:
The site is a mobile friendly site, so all new content is mobile friendly. In fact, other stories don’t show up with the label for me (at least the ones I spot checked).
I am not the only one who saw this. Jennifer Slegg spotted this also for her site and so did others.
I wonder if this is a weird bug or something else going on? I honestly thought by the next day it would show fine, but it still does not.
