6. What’s Your Technical Capacity to develop a Mobile Site

by @Aleyda7 Things you need to know about #mobileSEO

Take a look at Google’s recommendations to build mobile optimized Websites: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/smartphone-sites/

* Allow search engines to crawl page’s assets (css, js, images).

* Beware of elements that might not display effectively in mobiles (large images, javascript, videos, etc).

* Use a CMS or Framework to facilitate the implementation.

* Server needs to respond with different HTML on the same URL depending on the user agent requesting the page: Mobile users and bots should see a different, mobile specific version.

* Use the Vary HTTP header “User Agent” to help Googlebot discover your mobile-optimized content faster.

* Enable a consistent mobile URL structure under a “m” subdomain.

* Use HTTP 301 directions to refer mobile users and bots to the mobile version.

* Add link rel="alternate" tags pointing to the corresponding mobile URL and link rel="canonical" tags to desktop URLs.

* Include a link to the relevant desktop page.

* Generate a XML mobile Sitemap.

Dynamic ServingResponsive Web Design Parallel Mobile Site

* Make sure to optimize page speed, especially important for mobile due to bandwidth restrictions. * Validate that your mobile users see the same than the mobile search bots and avoid cloaking.
