Google's new mobile friendly tool - robot.txt

In case you missed it, Google has just launched a #mobilefriendlytool to test if your website is suitable for mobile.

Although it seems a little buggy, it is still how Google sees your website and so hugely important for organic traffic.

We had a few sites that failed this test even though they were responsive and very mobile friendly. The cause - was a robot.txt blocking Google Bot from a graphic file. It took 1 minute to fix, and so here is me hoping for an surge of website visitors from organic mobile search.

The tool has been added to our website healthcheck here:
