Mobile viewport not set

High priorityTechnical

The page has no viewport meta tag, or it isn’t set to the device width, so phones show a zoomed-out desktop layout.

What triggers this issue

  • No viewport meta tag.
  • Viewport isn’t set to width=device-width.

Why it matters

Google indexes the mobile version of your site first. Without a proper viewport, text is tiny and people have to pinch and scroll sideways, and the page fails mobile-friendliness checks.

How to fix it

  1. Add the viewport meta tag to <head> and make sure your CSS is responsive.
