Google now indexes only the mobile version of your site, so all content must work on phones. About 80-90% of searches happen on mobile, though some industries see a 60/40 split. You can't strip down mobile pages anymore.
So that means to me that Google now has one index, and it is the mobile index. And I want you to really sit with that for a minute, because all of the things that you've heard over the years, things like Your mobile site has to load fast or people aren't going to wait to see the information. Google's not going to index you if your site doesn't load fast. You've probably heard other things like your mobile site doesn't have to have all the information on it, it just needs to have what's important and you can put everything else on your desktop. Don't do that anymore. If, if you are someone who has done that, because that was something that was introduced in the web design industries many years ago, like when mobile started becoming really popular, because all of those things slow your site down. And so the theory was, let's only put what's super important on the mobile and everything else can be on the desktop, and people will see it when they go over there. That's not the world we live in today. The world we live in today is that most people are searching on their phones. Most industries, mine being one of the very few that are hanging on, um, have like an 80% mobile search versus 20% desktop. My industry is about 60/40 now, 60% desktop, 40% mobile. And I think— and when I say my industry, I mean like website designers— because I think people are looking when they're at work and for work, which means they're using a desktop. Most people all of you guys, your businesses, people are searching at home in their spare time. If they're at work, they're not searching for their work, they're searching for them personally, and they're using their phone. Okay, because most are phone, 80 to 90%, and only 10 to 20% desktop.
So Dotty, would my, would my tablet be considered Mobile or my same as my phone, or what is it?
Tablet is going to be considered the same as your phone.
Okay.
A bigger laptop is considered the same as desktop.
